Papers from an Antaam commander on Tearstone Island, translated by Taash:
Antaam:
I am shamed! Some of you cower from the new sky. You talk of deserting to go plunder Rivain.(1) Is the weakness of the South seeping into your limbs? Do you forsake glory, prefer the soft pickings of the bas to the thrill of a warrior's song?(2) Ghilan'nain offers power. The transformation of those strong enough to withstand her gifts(3) has made them mightier than our greatest enemies!
I will hunt down deserters and give them to Ghilan'nain myself.(4)
Scribbled notes from Taash in the margin:
(1) Jerks.
(2) He stole that from a poem.
(3) The transformation is messed up.
(4) WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS?
