> *« Nul n'a jamais entendu Drivnod parler. Mais nous l'avons vu commettre des horreurs innommables. Tandis qu'il plane au-dessus d'Ish Sah, un murmure mortel accompagne le vent. Je ne parviens jamais à l'observer longtemps. Je détourne mon regard et je me cache. »
—Kara Vrist, maîtresse espionne de la résistance*
