[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 81819, member: 2020"] Vecna speaks, apparently making a great effort in this, for what he says is, and the way he says it, is unusual for him: Forrester, my child, listen to the words of an elderly man. There is Wisdom in Age, child. You know it well, for have not your people on Toril learned, through their pain and sorrow, the meaning of wisdom? We learn by experience, and in great age those experiences lead to great wisdom. Oerth is no place for your people, Forrester, Child of the Light. Oerth is a place for the Darkness, and those who live in the Dark. Oerth is a place for the warrior, the killer, the assassin, the thief in the night. Oerth is a place for the ruthless, the remorseless, the heartless. You bring with you what you call a great army to bring the Light of Toril to Oerth. You bring your Light to extinguish the darkness of the Shade. You bring your Light, child, to succor and rescue the people of Oerth from what you perceive as grave danger. The danger is not to them, Child of Light, Child of Toril. The danger, is to you. You must appreciate just how grave that danger is. You must appreciate that, up until now, that danger has slept. You must appreciate that, up until now, the great Darkness has overlooked you. The forces at work on Oerth have made an oversight, and you have been spared. And if I, Vecna, do not appreciate the power of those forces, then nobody does. Those forces, are to be feared. Your safety has passed. The danger comes for you. The Darkness has awakened. The Darkness has awakened, and it sees you and yours, and a great anger has stirred in a heart blacker than the darkest night. Darkness comes for you and yours. Darkness unending and eternal. You may yet save yourself and yours. Go back to your world, to your paradise of Light and Peace. Go back to your safety, your laws, your religions, to a world where the parameters of what you know as sanity exist. If you will not heed my advice ... if you will not heed the advice of an elderly man, then what must I say and do to convince you? What proof do you require that it would be best for you to return home? What action must you require of us that you and yours should go home? What demand lies in your heart, that must be fulfilled, that would see you home in peace? [/QUOTE]
