Age has little to do with it. True, those of my star are not nearly as long lived but I have bore witness to plenty enough. Upon our meeting I stated I was a historian, correct?

[ Well there's a little more to it than that. The Allagan Eye is not merely his inheritance. It had been the will of Salina, moved by her own people. The desire to see the Crystal Tower as a beacon of hope rather than what it had been during Xande's resurrection and reign. ]

T'was not hatred that saved our star, but one hand reaching out for another in a moment of despair. It was saved not by striking one another down, but coming together and creating something new and innovative. Our Dragonsong war was not ended with hatred, but rather both men and dragon meeting one another together so that both might continue to thrive.

[ There are many other instances he can think of. Some he cannot openly discuss - since the use of time travel is. Hmm. A secret he would rather take to the grave. It's also difficult to speak of the Ascians and the Ancients without further frame of reference. ]

Every society that has relied on their hatred has fallen apart. They become corrupt and unrecognizable, eventually becoming the very thing that they hate. It is all well and good to fight for one's freedom, but there will come a time when the strife ceases and relationships will need be salvaged.

[ Unfortunately, G'raha does feel rather strongly about the subject. ]

I bear no love for Garlemald. Though they were originally run out from their homeland, they have taken many lives. They have subjugated many and were the very reason I was forced to leave my homeland. Yet I cannot stand idly by while their people now freeze and suffer.
