Arrival

[Esher]
Welcome to my Age. Noloben.

When D'ni died, I fled here. From death to death.

You will see the fingerprints of the creatures everywhere. This was their home, and they did not welcome me.

To survive, I was forced to learn. You will learn here as well. It is not like the other Ages.

Much to learn. First, the stone Slate. Pick it up from the pedestal and take it with you. But know this about the slate: they too are abominations, made by the bahro creatures’' abuse of the Art of Writing. Still, they carry great power.

You will find that you can write on the Slates anything you wish. There are some elementary symbols that the creatures understand. At least in this way, you can use the bahro hindrance for your good.

They will take it, if you drop it. They will obey it, if you order them. They will return it, in time. As you learn, you will have more control.

Esher's lab

[Esher]
You have unlocked my lab. Impressive.

It is safe here. They are afraid. They will not come here. The snake binds them, prevents them from linking.

I take no pleasure in what they have endured here. But I had to learn.

Did you know that you aid the creatures, the bahro, as you move the Slates? Did Yeesha tell you that?

Did you know that the full power of the bahro is restrained by the Tablet? Did Yeesha tell you that?

Did you know that they will not come near anything with the symbol of the snake? Did you know that the Tablet that Yeesha told you not to give her controls them? Did she tell you that?

I have learned. They are terrifying creatures if not controlled.
