Each created a Brood

in order to claim the glory of Caine.

 

Yet we did not have his wisdom or restraint.

 

A great war was waged, the Elders against

their Children,

just as Uriel had said,

and the Children slew their parents.

 

They rose up

used fire and wood

swords and claws

to destroy those who had created them.

 

The rebels then built a new city.

Out of the fallen Empire,

they collected the Thirteen clans

had been scattered by the Great War,

and brought them all together.
