Firim in Exile, Part 6 is a scroll found on the ground in the Endless Sands in Zereth Mortis.[67.34, 25.17]
Contains
Automa were commonplace in Zereth Mortis. But not all types. One was exceedingly rare, like polished jewels among infinite grains of sand.
The oracles.
They sang songs to their kin, and so at first I thought they were unique only in appearance. But as I drew close to one to better observe its duties, something unexpected happened.
I heard its voice.
And yet the term "voice" falls short. To be sure, I experienced the sensation of words being spoken in much the manner one does when conversing with a colleague. And yet this was more.
I felt the words as much as heard them. The thoughts entered my consciousness and conveyed their meaning to my entire being.
What words did it offer? It spoke images. Riddles. Prophecies. And as they reverberated through my very core, I remembered my conversations with Irik-tu and the thousand truths they told me of.
Then it struck me. The oracles spoke in both one truth and a thousand. Not as separate thoughts, but as one in the same instant.
And if the oracles, entities left behind to oversee a workshop, could think in such terms, how much more complex must the minds of their makers be?
Long have I scoffed at what I learned of titans, or the void lords, or demons of the Nether. I held Death's pantheon in higher regard, but now I know that they are just as limited. Truth lies not in one direction or another, but in their intersection.
The First Ones had parceled out their gifts, but gave no child all of them. No wonder these offspring bickered with such incessant jealousy. Their very nature was one of denial.
At this realization I lost consciousness, for I had once again transcended into a new plane of thought.
