"Know that a mind divided divides the man. The will and the hand must be
as one. In knowing the self, one becomes strong."
"Know that if you know a course of action to be true in your heart, do not
betray it because the path leads to hardship. Know that without suffering,
the Rising would have never been, and the People would never have come
to know themselves."
"Know that there is nothing in all the Worlds that can stand against unity.
When all know a single purpose, when all hands are guided by one will, and
all act with the same intent, the Planes themselves may be moved."
"A divided mind is one that does not know itself. When it is divided, it
cleaves the body in two. When one has a single purpose, the body is
strengthened. In knowing the self, grow strong."
"There was an Eighth Circle within the Stone of Zerthimon, Dak'kon. It spoke
of division of the mind, and the importance of focus."
He fell silent. When he spoke again... his tone was quiet, almost reverent.
"What does this Eighth Circle speak of?"
"It speaks of focus and discipline... about how not knowing oneself can
physically divide the man. It also speaks of the weaknesses that division
causes. It seems to me that it tells one to not only know themselves and
take strength from that, but that your focus can reveal weaknesses in your
enemy."
Dak'kon was silent. When he spoke again it was with caution, and grace.
"Will you make this Circle known to me?"
With one final click, I unlocked the Eighth Circle of Zerthimon.
Again, two more plates slid from the interior and into my hands. Dak'kon
watched me silently.
"There are two plates here... we should both study them, you and I. I think
when you know the Eighth Circle, perhaps then you will know Zerthimon's
heart when he made the Pronouncement of Two Skies. His words were not
those of the illithids, but of the People."
