"The chaos of the shadows ruled the world, swirling on land and in the oceans. Then did Emperor rise from his throne and changed his scepter for sword and shield. On the back of his noble eagle he rode to battle, and many joined, encouraged by his presence. He lead the Peoples from victory to victory, and there were those who followed closely his deed, listened with sharp ears to his words. Thus did they learn the gift of learship, and to them did Emperor leave the responsibility of leading once the shadows had retreated, trusting that when they would again return, they would lead us to victory, even if he would not be there to help us."
