"Well...it's...a legend...old even in the time of my grandsire. You don't really hear of it anymore." "I think it's called the legend of...The Timeless," said the first in a whisper. "What the hell are The Timeless, then? Some kind of ghosts? And what the hell good are they, ancient? I think you're growing senile at last," he hrumphed. They remember all of it. They have been called to Hyboria.
