Subject: Look at that star, young one...do you know what it is?

"You do not have to answer the question, young one. It is a question of reflection. You may think in your heart or in your mind that it is the Star of Rugby...the Off-Worlders come to our wondrous Manar. You may think with your eyes and knowledge that it is the base of the Iron Shapeshifting Golems or the Men that work by their side...but you can just as likely be wrong.

"What makes you think that it is not the single eye of one of the pantheon looking down at us? What makes you think that it is not our very ancestors shining down on us?

"It is the way of life and the universe...so much is based on perception. To us on this planet...that star can be anything. To them, the ones on that star, that star is not a star but a station. It is what it is.

"Close your eyes young one and reach out to the Queen's Land all about us. Do you hear the rustling of the wind? Do you feel the breeze on your forehead? Can you smell the wetness in the air or taste the rain which accumalates? This is Manar...home for us, but a jewel in the velvet night for others.

"Never forget where you stand, young one. For where you stand is where you are firm. Never forget your ground and never let your ground be chosen for you. For when the ground is chosen for you, you can never be sure of it.

"Out there, among the stars, is one of our sons. One of our children in ground that has been chosen for him. Feel this dirt...here, touch it. Taste it...it's bitterness...this is life. This is power. This is beauty.

"This is Manar your home...never forget it."
