Parneya the Hypocrite: "Though much work was done on evacuating the innocent from the frontiers to safer regions, it soon became apparent that it couldn't be sustainable. The Dominion simply didn't have enough resources anymore to feed its desperate people, and the threat of the Watchers grew darker every day, with more and more worlds falling. Parneya came up with a plan. Everyone knew the worst about their Watchers - those slain by their blade would be cleansed from the Wheel, never to be reborn. There was only one way out of this certain oblivion - to take one's own life before the Dreadspawn could come. To hundreds of billions, this was the only shred of hope left."
