Awake in the Night Land
“All persons, men and women both, are trained in the use of the Diskos. It is a weapon that never in our history, not for ten millions of years, has been used by one human being against another. In all the ages our histories record, no woman has ever ventured into the Night Lands, save only Mirdath the Beautiful. So why must we drill with the weapon as well?
To handle the weapon, when it is charged, improves the strength not just of the arm, but of the spirit, for not all the energies that live within the haft and blade are native to this our three-dimensional universe. A woman who can swing the heavy weapon through its paces and its strokes learns of her own inner strength, and can hear the Master Word that hides in her soul.
When the Power and Forces of the Land bend their malice upon the Last Redoubt, and all our dreams are troubled, or when the hopes and human feeling of the Millions reach across the darkened air to some stranded adventurer who crouches in the freezing Nigh...t Lands, waiting for unseen Death to strike, then are all the souls of all the living knitted together, and the aether rings as loudly with our paeans as a Home Call rings in the ear.MoreLess
