Derven of the Eternal Fire: "He used to be a high-ranked monk of the Concordance, residing in the sanctuary on Al'Yun. When the Watchers arrived to cleanse the world of the First Dreamers, Derven did nothing. Like most of his brothers, he understood the Watchers to be a part of the endless dance of nature - fighting them would be as if the sea attempted to resist the pull of the moons. But then he saw the slaughter. He saw the heroic sacrifice of the defenders of the world, who stopped the Dreadspawn with mountains of their own dead bodies. He saw the lush forests burn and the proud cities razed. He saw a paradise maimed, and it broke his heart."
