"It's is already done", responded the Shaman, as Aalmon looked down to
see the Trollkin magically healed of all wounds, his eyes slowly
opening. "Hmmm... pain is such an illusion", The Fourth commented as he
stood up, brushing off the debris.

"Pentans people of the plain, once spread their hooves far into what the
Empire calls the Redlands. Gopher people know it as Endless Land of
Silence for that is what it was in the days of the Ban. Only sounds was
wind rolling across the land. Voices never beyond a whisper. Just cold
grasslands, flat forever. For many Gopher people it was a heaven."

"But then the Ban was lifted. The world began to open. Moon people move
in first and Gopher people leave. They farm the land and use strange
magics. Now People of the Hooves want the flat lands to trample
including the Redlands. They are not kind to us in the new lands and
fight the Gopher people. But we are clever with our traps and our
burrows and many of them die. But we are few and they are many, and they
are strong and hunt us down. So Gopher people must be smart."

"And that is what I know Moon Man. I protect my people the best I can.
What else can I tell you?"
