Power and riches…..”“It was I that sent the Thrane Knights to the island of the undead plague.  It was I that the artificer lich and his companion, a warforged.  Both are consumed with madness.”“madness…..”  “I have manipulated the Lord of Blades to send his agents throughout Khorvaire to capture the artifact before his sister warforged from another dimension could grasp it.  Xulo-12 now risks everything by exposing herself and Cannith’s other worldly operations.   This has brought Cannith into the chase.”“mmmmmm”“And I have used several of my agents to prolong the chase.   The dragons Bree and Blizzard for instance. Anything to extend my fun.”“…fun……”“Yes.  Even The Face of The False moon requires amusement.”“Mummy….. Amusement.    Like all of the Elderich family.”“Meaning?” he asks suddenly frowning.  She diverts her eyes and submits.  “Kim and Dura Elderich…. They yet live.”“I can kill either one when I wish to.   NOTHING.  Nothing can stop me now.”</blockquote>
