| “ | As the fifth Empyrean, Innominat's purpose is to eat human souls, malevolence and all, and to wipe the slate clean. When all mankind is once again pure as a newborn babe, the elemental Empyreans can be safely revived. Yes. Civilization will crumble. The spread of malevolence, the cleansing of Innominat... The cycle has repeated countless times over the eons. That is why human civilization rises and falls. But if this continues, humanity will never surpass a certain threshold. Thus, the Abbey will control Innominat's power, so that we may guide humanity into a new, better era! | „ |

| “ | Hmph, I've said the same thing thousands of times. If it were my choice, I'd have let myself die naturally long ago. But did he not say... "Man can turn reason into disorder, but also can we surpass it. Our true power is in transcending the possible to achieve the ideal." ...Think what you will. I'll show you the truth of his words. | „ |
