Avant qu’il soit le Héraut de la Chance, on l’appelait Celui-qui-lie-les-dieux. Il fut le fondateur du Pacte Sacré. Aucun Radieux n’est capable d’accomplir davantage que vous.

Vos Flux sont les plus grands de tous, mais ils seront impuissants si vous cherchez à les manier uniquement pour le combat. "
