" for, even as the Patriarch Palamedes went naked and destitute into the dunes of Pyre, and in privation found communion with the Pancreator, so you too, O soldiers of al-Malik, may through your ordeal beneath these twin suns above you purge the taint of Shadow from your luminous soul, and emerge a company of blazing radiance eclipsing even the glare of the Doruman Ravines."
from the inspirational sermon of the Most Holy Gazim al-Safa
