"Remember what I teach, of all the lies of the Elves, of their corrupted ways, of how all men in the end are fated to face truth and of how all fates are inevitable in the end.
"Remember what I teach, and remember that the Elves will slay you i they ever notice who and what you are, for they know no mercy and no compassion and they kill whomever they deem their enemy.
"Remember what I teach and live. Fail and die, not by hand, but by the hand of others, by the hand of those that deem themselves 'free', or by your own hand in foolishness.
"Remember and live - and perhaps you shall be rewarded. Betray, and you will see that there is no escape, not from darkness nor from disloyalty, that there is no place where you would ever fin peace, save in death that will not be given to you lightly.
"Remember that all Men that claim themselves free are but naught; that they too have the spark of truth in their hearts, and they will surrender to it given time and they, too, will lust for the very same things as all Men do.
"Remember of all things that are fear, of all things that are truths. Remember all my words and you shall see that this darkness is not your enemy and that its ways are unlike what you think to know. Remember, and do as you are told, and you sall see."
And he told the tale of the Eldar and their betrayal and their kinslaying and their waning strangth, and of their greed and their fury and of their powers that can not be comprehended by Man. And he told the tale of Númenor how it was betrayed and of their Kingdoms which were built upon lies, and of the glorious few that have seen the truth beyond all shadow and treachery. And he taught the language of the later Edhel in its depths and secrets as to have her understand the arrogance of the Edhel, an to have he hide her alliegance. And he taught of the hearts of Men, how easily they are swayed to this and that, and of how the fates of all the greater men led only to the design of Darkness and that none of them were free; that every Man was fated to serve the One's design, and that this was set so in the beginning of time.
"And all desires of all he peoples will lead to great grief - and only they alone may cause the lie that is their joy, if ever so brief and ever so blid it may be. Such is the fate of the world."
