Those who had been cast down, the demons who would be gods, began to whisper to men from their tombs within the earth. And the men of Tevinter heard, and raised altars to the pretender-gods once more, and in return were given, in hushed whispers, the secrets of darkest magic. But it was not worship the false gods craved. With magic born of mingled blood and lyrium, the Tevinter broke into the Maker's House. But the promised power did not await them there. — Threnodies 8:21-27, the Canticle of Transfigurations== Related codex entries ==
