Mage/Theme/The Martyr's Tree/Overview
"I am not come to you to appeal for those you believe to be Unnamed. I am not come to intercede in matters you have already brought to pass. What is done is done. You have destroyed treasures you will never hold, wisdom you will never learn, and an entire magical practice your Diamond mistakenly believed to be inferior. So be it. I am the last of them. They are no more. I cannot meddle, great Hierarch, in the innards of a corpse."
"Instead I am come to say my good-byes. I am come to make an example of my life in the manner of its passing. I am come to give you and your successors a lesson you can learn; and continue to learn and relearn until the need for it is as absent from this world as my brothers, sisters, and siblings."
"Watch, great and learned Masters of the wise Diamond. Watch, you self-styled inheritors of Atlantis. Watch and learn."
