This is a dark, dank world. I have seen the Angel of Death in my visions once more, and it would surely be a powerful tool against the Dakini, the Matak, and the Chumara. However, my path is different. The Chumara have far too much power in this ball of mud, and as ironic as it seems, the Dakini may be the most docile tribe here. Already I have witnessed possible defeat in this world, and I must act to avoid it.

I cannot rely on nature to do the work of my people here. The world is far too dark for that, the earth is foul. I'll elevate our settlement to the skies, cast away the filthy trappings of the beasts that joined me eagerly as I arrived for fresh ones, and use my spell of Invisibility to the best of our advantage. We shall convert the enemy through whispers rather than shouts, we shall strike from the shadows and eliminate them with men disguised as their laborers. I shall savor killing the Matak and the Chumara first, and then turn my eyes to strip away the Dakini's strength through the power of religious doctrine. I may be the tribe with a target at my back, but in the end, we shall triumph!
