~Fear not.

-Queen Anshahai.

~Behold us. Behold our garments and our arms, behold the crests of our heads. You know us. You know us well.

-Your line hasn't heard from us since Annina, but you surely know us. We've been absent for quite a while.

~This is because you have ruled your kingdom wisely and well, O queen. You and all your line.

-Your wisdom and power have at last brought all the world under thrall. Even the polar continent, which as I recall some foolhardy explorer under Vezednap claimed for your kingdom shortly before freezing to death. Nobody else has tried to settle it again, which is really the smart thing to do.

~But, alas, all the world is now under your thrall. What can you do now that could compare to those feats of your ancestors? What great feats can you perform? How will you ensure your name shall be remembered?

-We know these doubts of yours. We know how these endless questions gnaw at you. You're in luck. We have an answer.

~Great queen! Your ancestors conquered the world. But there is a secret known to we angels, a secret which we now share with you.

-Look up at the sky. Look up at the stars. Each star is a sun, and around each sun are worlds. Hundreds of them. Thousands of them.

~Queen Anshahai! Send word to all your kingdom. Gather together its finest magi and artificers, its greatest boatsmen and navigators. Bring them to your court by the end of six months. Bring them to us. We shall teach you how to ply the outer darkness that lurks beyond the sky.

-Your royal ancestors conquered the world. But you, Queen Anshahai, will be known as the queen who conquered the stars.
