The maker of futures; the unshaper of destiny.
--from Commentaries on the Prophecies of the Dragon, by Jurith Doine, Right Hand to the Queen of Almoren, 742 AB, the Third Age

--from Do'in Toldara te, Songs of the Last Age, Quarto Nine: The Legend of the Dragon Composed by Boanne, Songmistress at Taralan, the Fourth Age
