Secret Inscription VI

In the Temple of Diana in Turris, Kleeck and Hassan teleported inside and discovered, in what is now starting to seem like a "typical" location, the statue of the woman wearing old-fashioned Roman armor, with her mouth bound, and her finger to her lips. Kleeck used a Silence spell to prevent anyone outside from hearing, and used his knowledge of the statue to cause it to roll back. Below was a 10'x10' room as found in other locations such as Nemasus and Lugdunum, and in the space below, they found another stela (cover plate) with the letter "L" engraved upon it. Pressing the depression at the center of the cover plate caused it to roll upward, revealing the following inscription carved on the stone below, in Latin:

VI
And so, Jupiter gathered the gods about him, and instructed them each to create a new race, as the Titans had done thousands of years before. But whereas the Reptile-gods had created races of cold-blooded beings, now the younger gods created races whose blood ran warm. So it was that the elves and dwarves, gnomes and halflings, centaurs and goliaths, came to stride upon the earth. And at the last, the final contribution came from the greatest of all the gods and goddesses, who breathed life into the very first humans. And Jupiter saw these things, and was pleased, for the gods now had warm-blooded beings to worship them.
