The Goddess

    Across this ribbon which flows a thousand miles, lies a strange place of which I have naught but dreamed.  It's creatures strange and beautiful, its landscape a monument to the gods.  And yet I am bound here by my nature, my magic unable to survive the crossing. Though the temptation be strong, I refuse to yield, refuse to sacrifice the embrace of the goddess to whom I serve.  Such as it is, I will forge my own lands, I will create my own creatures, and I will sculpt beauty from my surroundings.  Thus those beyond my reach will be tempted, and unto me will they come, sharing in the fruits of the goddesses blessings.
