Fiction:The World Annals

"The greatest and most ancient of all magics are those of which that are spoken. Many believe that the world formed out of the very sound of creation, and therefore, this is how us mere mortals commune with that same ancient magic today. But we would not remember this without our mediums of writing - stories of the world, since the beginning of time itself were written for future generations to learn. Some were written to inspire, but others were written to warn. The most divine feature of us mortals is the power to transcend history long after we die through the power of text."

- Unknown author, c. 310 BNA
