Despite their primitive beliefs, the ancient tribes from before the Great Curse developed a fascinating image of Dolya – sorrowful and contemplating the chimerical nature of humanity. It is a surprising spark of reflection that shows comprehension of how brutal feuds caused by mindless hostility had a destructive impact on the environment.

Myths speak of a deity that developed a tender affection for people, but saw that many of them desire power, become demoralized, and violate eternal laws – especially in such large, primitive bands.

Could it be a sign that these primitive bands, these barbarians, are headed toward the same enlightenment that is characteristic of our civilization? Does the existence of this concern give them full rights and make the conquest of their lands unjust?

However glittering a trace of that thought may be, it is nothing against the dirt in which it vanishes. Barbarians did not abandon their primitive ways and, unfortunately, it seems they will never be able to do so.
