"Fine, I will tell you. I will use the words of the ancient songs, and of Aecora Silverfire, who sees far further than any of your sages and rulers. We are the guardians of this land, and it is imbued with evil." The centaur speaks in a measured melodic voice, carefully reciting a sacred teaching. "Evil sleeps here, under each burial mound, under each obelisk with one-eyed skulls. And you, two-legged, dig this ground like moles, stealing secret treasures from the ancient graves, and tempting their dread magic. You will ruin all. The one who sleeps must continue his slumber. The caged one must remain behind bolt and bar."
