“Cycles within cycles, turning evermore. Do not think that the One-Who-Whispers is gone, and shall return again. That is an
ignorant understanding of the Cycle of Inevitability. Instead understand that the Holy Susurrus ebbs and recedes like the tide.
When the Tide of Whispers has withdrawn, the initiated are invested with a sacred charge: to prepare the world for the turning of
that Tide, for the return of the Whispered One. When that sacred and holy day is upon us once more, the Ineffable Whispers will be
heard not just by the sanctified, but by all thinking creatures, and woe, woe betide those who do not fall down in worship.”
