"To be honest, I'm.. not entirely certain what the Sharmat wants. I don't even fully understand what it is. I only knew the face and name it wore in my childhood, and the name that it wears now. It nests in the hearts of the willful but weary, a parasite masquerading as a companion."
"From what I can understand, it... it believes that the world is a lie. And not just the mortal realm, but the void of space and the distant realm of Aetherius. I've heard his followers speak of such in their trance-like fervor: 'Our eyes once were blinded, now through him do we see. Our hands once were idle, now through them does he speak. And when the world shall listen, and when the world shall see, and when the world remembers, that world will cease to be.'"
"But I think that suggests that the Sharmat believes there is a world, a true world, from which we need to be freed. It's just... I mean, it must be wrong. But it is convinced. Passionate. It acts as righteous, which makes it a far more terrifying adversary."
