“	The city of stone and steel is an endless scream in nature's womb. I have felt no peace here. Until now.	„

Notes

• Zethino refers to Shadowheart as "the dark-haired maiden" even if said maiden has actually adopted white hair as part of her personal overhaul following her abandonment of Shar worship.
• Zethino is one Orins possible disguises. The real Zethino can only be encountered if Orin has already been discovered twice.
