Adoniram, The Last Bastion
''In a different life, we were the wardens of the greatest empire the world had ever seen; Gold as abundant as the poppydflower seeds, brought forth by the wisest men and women an empire could desire. Now, we are but a shadow of our former selves, protecting a crumbling empire where its greatest enemies are right within our borders. Nonetheless our duty stands until our bodies give way, and the last brick of our Temple is torn down.''.
