A Decent Land: The Eye’s Mantra
An introductory pamphlet from the Lords of the Eye, addressed to the youth.

We see The Eye in our dreams, before its existence is even revealed to us. And so, we rest assured — in faith — by our own experience. Its pupil crimson, like our royal family’s castle (no coincidence), The Eye is ever locked in observation. Beneath it — twelve times a day — monks and Lords of the oculus do gather, on their knees, to hear the prophecy.
A Decent Land will be our home. Home will be A Decent Land.

It’s thought a plethora of them were dotted ‘round our founding globe; each affiliated with a different regent. The Family Qualat, who remain amongst our number, are considered royal guardians to Right Side Eye. All others, ‘cept The Family…
