"Stone is the ancestor of all. 
It is of the beginning
And the timeless spirit
That joins star to star
And age to age.
Out of stone comes life.

We are of the stone
And the stone is of us.
Hold it close, feel its power.
Hear its song and prepare
To enter realms known 
But long forgotten

Journey well.
May the good go with you."

- from the opening of the first book "Song of the Circle" in the chronicles
