Cale of the Lost Words: "There was a great conference of artists of the lost Dominion after the Shift. The topic was simple - was it even justifiable to create art after the unspeakable, unimaginable catastrophe of the wars? How could one worship the beauty of the world and the eternal struggle of life after so many had been lost to the plague of the Watchers? The talks dragged on for many, many sols and ultimately reached no conclusion. But for Cale, who had been a poet, the question was simple: her craft was dead, and she shall remain silent for the rest of her time to honour those who could not be saved."
