Lost HistoryThe people of Sirion are not warlike by nature, and do not go out of their way to pick fights. But when war is forced upon them, it falls to the armies of Sirion to defend their homes, and push the aggressors back. Up until recently, few historic records of battles have been kept, and many old reports have been lost or destroyed. This is a tragic loss of knowledge, and must be stopped. My intention is to change this; to salvage what history I can, and keep records of future battles so they are not lost as well. It is a dishonor to those who have fallen to forget what they died fighting for. We must learn from our past mistakes, so we do not repeat them. ~Alain Revan, Banker of Sirion, Count of Glinmar
