nter has come early this year, and the cold wind blows all about us. The year of
ilith is over and the Eighth Tribe seems further than ever from its destiny. I look back
our foolishness over the last several seasons, and I cannot help but agree with
ruka. We Fallen, regardless offaction, are so anxious to embrace the future that we
ave forgotten all lessons ofthe past. Listen to me, I sound like a Yagan...
Lilith taught us one thing it was that our roots are still important, that i f we are to call
urselves the descendants ofJoshua, we must know Him. We know now thatJoshuan
munities are hidden in the Outlands waiting for us. I remember the Joshuan
ques well and I hope t o see him again someday. Maybe it’s because I was born an
Agnite, but mention ofJoshua always brings Mary the Forgiver to mind. She t o o is a
lost Fatima and I wonder, ifthere are still Joshuans, why not Marians?
Of course, for many of us the past just means the Tribes and their oppression. But we
must remember that they too have their heroes. The Joanites who sided with Lilith
remind us all that there are still those who can fight the good fight in the Fatimas’
race. Sometimes, I am jealous of them.

inally, I see the Keepers as a sign of hope for us. They understand the past in ways
en the Fatimas don’t, and some oftheir number are willing to share that knowledge.
If we are to build a solid future, their help will be essential. Our ally Acturius has told
me he will soon bring secret records for us to examine; I’m almost giddy with
excitement. Once an Agnite, I suppose.

information in Chapter Seven, these
chapters provide many new options
for Players and Weavers. chapters
Five and Six are complete quests,
one designed for a tribal Quest
Circle, the other for agroup of
Fallen. chapter Seven rounds out
the Companion with a variety of
resources for Weavers, including
advice for using the new factions,
details on the population and
economics of Vimary, and advanced
combat rules.
The events in this book occur after
