Gather them and you may yet cross to that accursed isle, and destroy the source of all evil, as I, too, did so long ago. Before my passing, I entrusted the three objects to three great sages. If the fates have been kind, their descendants guard them still. When evil rules the ill-starred isle once more... Gather the hollowed traid[2], and strike a blow for the cause of light. No doubt, those of the line of the sages await you somewhere in this world. Seek them out! Blood of my blood, child of my children-go forth and fulfil[3] your destiny!"
