Marcy: My ancestors… they did all these great things. They took down warlords, they formed entire empires! They shaped the course of human history! They were born and bred into this, and I’m just… just… I’m just me.

The Core: Dear Marcy. No one empire, no one clan, can ever truly withstand the test of time, not even the Wus. That is the folly of being made of mere flesh, blood and bone. Like those before them, they fell victim to a changing world.
