Illustration for Altimer's Cross.

I am Curasan, last of the Aralith.
I have reached back through time and seen the Beginning
I have seen life open its eyes and wonder at what we have wrought.
I have seen beauty beyond reason, and
destruction to make the Gods weep.
I have seen heroes rise and empires fall.
I have seen anger, hate and death. I have
seen hope, love and birth.
This is my life. This world is my home.
I am Curasan, last of the Aralith.
You shall not pass.
