The Talisman's Dangerous Promise of Power
Ikol
Majesty, the Talisman is almost beyond control. We must bury it in the dark before it is too late.
Queen Gedren
It'll be buried when I have no further use for it, and that time shall come with the end of time itself.
Ikol
It will kill us all! Majesty, what do you want? Our vaults are brimming with gold. Great kingdoms live in terror of us! What more is there?
Queen Gedren
The world, Ikol! Today we took the kingdom of Toktyl. But I have wider claims, and the Talisman will enforce them!
Ikol
Madness. There will be no world.
