- Mr. Mittens
- *(Scrawled in the first page's margin.)* *Petrus, give me your thoughts on the foreword. I saved it for last, now that the manual is done. Let me know if it's too much at the end. I got emotional. Dame would've been proud, is all.* --- It's been a winding road to get here. Was worried our ragtag project team would struggle to put our horns together and come up with something inspiring. "It's a new era," they said, and I asked, "why shouldn't the charr help lead the way?" Imperator Greetsglory agreed, and with Imperator Kindleshot's own hearty approval, I got started. The goal was to create a kind of vessel, an extra well of power for guardians to tap into, with magic to forge and shape to their liking. The containment vessel for that power was where Petrus and his Iron comrades—Tullis, Jenk, and Melniza—came in with their expertise. The latter three were already familiar with building magical containment for holding Foefire ghosts. We pored over blueprints, consulted a few asura. Even took a field trip to the blazing Durmand Priory for inspiration and studied a couple dusty Deldrimor lanterns. Months later, we had a working prototype that combined the function of a containment lantern unit and a flame brazier amplifier. With it, Petrus was able maintain a stable shroud of flame and even wield weapons formed of the same fire. It was a sight to behold! Since then, we've worked out the kinks. Petrus had to grow back the occasional patch of fur, but we got real good at putting out fires. Eventually, it was safe enough that we felt we could put it in front of our imperators. Our demonstration was met with glowing eyes and cheers from the crowd of onlookers; we'd been approved to share this practice with the legions, and now, with the rest of Tyria. As a charr who spent much of their youth believing in one thing only to cast it aside in later years, I say this to all guardians: Gods, spirits, and leaders come and go with the ages. But whatever fuels your virtue, whatever instinct drives you to put yourself between danger and something or someone in need—take that spark and place it in your brazier. Let it light your way. —Attiken Sparkstoker, Flame Legion

- Indeed, indeed. At this rate I'll be promoted to over-assistant, no doubt. Anyway, the techs tell me the fractal numbers are looking good. Just a bit more crunch, Commander.

- It's been a relief to have something to keep track of tales and songs I've heard over the years. Easier to recite or riff on their original lines than to trust it to memory all the time, not to mention working on my own original pieces. --- From Orrian shores to Maguuma's coast, Down fiery path and saga of frost, O'er seas of jade at world's unend, A cycle reborn, a world to mend. *Notes: It's fine, but the connection to the Second Scion isn't as strong as I'd like. Maybe someone closer to Aurene can get it right?* --- ~~Her~~ fangs ~~were~~ out, ~~her~~ blade ~~was~~ sharp Vengeance stirred within her heart Oaths and lessons, never forsaken ~~The Soulkeeper's~~ Her Vigil ~~forever~~ unshaken *Notes: I picked this one up while visiting a friend at Vigil Keep. One of the norn warmasters was rather passionately reciting it from the commissary. From what I've heard, the lyrics of the original song were shorter and punchier, so I've cut back some the excess to honor the original form.* --- Alas poor Dougal, down on his luck. An ancient charr relic, a deal was struck. Friends and foes fell, an ally's oath spurned. Claw in Keane hands, the addled king yearned. Peace forged of doom, its ember yet burns. *Notes: This one may be my favorite. It could be abbreviated further, but sometimes it's nice to let a tale flourish a little extra. Funny enough, I heard this one most in Ascalon. I wonder if Dougal knows that hulking feline soldiers and engineers gleefully chant his daring deeds?* --- Scholarly Firstborn, a burden he bore. Three factions rallied—a Pact bound for Orr. Armed with insight and Riannoc's blade. To artesian waters his Wyld Hunt bade. Life blooms anew, a legacy made. *Notes: Trahearne's passing came as a blow to us, following the terrors of Mordremoth. I was heartened to hear many tales of him afterward that focused on his greatest triumph rather than the tragedy that befell him.* --- "That's my cue!" the mad sylvari cooed. With clockwork knights she struck, Those on her list. What luck! "Begone you little pest," she said. "Desist, my dears, or you'll be dead." *Notes: I admit, I was baffled to hear that something had been written about Scarlet Briar, of all people. Some dubious bard in Divinity's Reach must have appreciated her flair for the dramatic? I guess if there were any Secondborn to write about, she'd be the one.* --- ~~Gathering~~ Council held, ~~in~~ times most dire. Subtle as shadow, tempting ~~their~~ ire. ~~A~~ Barrier ~~she~~ raised, against Mantle plot ~~To claim~~ For Kryta's throne, ~~but all was for naught.~~ ~~Her allies struck true.~~ May Caudecus rot! *Notes: Picked this one up in the promenade outside the queen's palace. I've made some revisions of my own, but I feel like someone who knows Her Majesty could punch this up just a bit more and give it a personal touch.* *Still, it would be an honor to perform this for her one day. Think of the exposure!*
