Men-kind shared this world for but a blink, then, sadly, they became enlightened, found science and religion. The new world of men left little room for magic or the magical creatures of old. Earth’s first children were driven into the shadows by flame and cold iron, by man’s insatiable need of conquest. Brom
About This Quote

The first men were driven into the shadows by the flame of science and the cold iron of religion. Through their attitudes they have forced all other species to leave our world, or be driven out. They are intelligent, yet misguided in their methods, for when they took over the family, they forgot to take care of its members. Now all that is left are the shadows of what once was.
