'''Shonchin''': You might ''call'' me priest! But ''I'' know power - such as ''you'' could never control! We learned it from the last of the Hyperboreans. It was given to them by those great spirits who first vanquished Ogdru Hem; who cast them to the heavens, entombing those they couldn't kill in the earth and under the sea. You're bathed in darkness. That fire would burn you away. Turn your boat around. Or better, crash it on that jagged edge. Even now Satan's Hell would be a kinder fate than the one you so eagerly seek.

Death could not be an escape from the duties of their faith. Rituals and symbolic ceremonies were twisted into something cruel, embracing death instead of life.
