She quirks an eyebrow at him and hmphs with mild derision, but this doesn't stop her from continuing.
[The Glencolans were the first to inhabit the island. They learned terrible secrets about the world beyond worlds and tried to use them for themselves, but the gods of those worlds took notice, and did not approve. They smote our world to try and erase their secrets; however, at the last moment, the Glencolans used that knowledge against them to save themselves, preserving their home island while the rest of the world burned.
[One of the gods - The Great Whale, Whose Song Shakes the Heavens - took pity on our little sphere. She saw that the Glencolans were wicked, but our people were good, and that we should inhabit the earth when it is one day fit to live in. She struck our great ark from the sky before it could be destroyed, and though many perished, enough of us were spared by Her mercy to live on alongside the Glencolans. Our once separate peoples on the ark became whole - we became the Pacairs.
[For a time, there was peace. But the Glencolans had not learned their lesson. They rebuilt their ancient weapons of sin and tried to use them again, except this time they brought forth a god. They were fortunate that it was The Great Whale. Her Song spoke to us, and we knew at once that She would spare us as long as we acknowledged what She had given up for us, and tried to make this hell a place She could one day call heaven. We tried to tell the Glencolans; they told us that we were mistaken, and that gods didn't exist. For their blasphemy, Her Song drove them away into exile, where they have remained ever since.]
