"We are still investigating the cause of the Sound. Frustratingly, its origin yet eludes us, and daily it seems new areas of the star are affected--but I get ahead of myself. It originated across the sea. When we went to investigate the cause and the disasters, I can only say…. I have never witnessed such horrors. My best surmise is that the terror it wreaks upon the heart causes an individual’s fears to manifest--and in the same instant robs one of all control of creation, letting loose the foulest manifestations of dread. Whatever the reason for this calamity, we must prevent its spread at all costs, for to fail to do so will surely be the ruin of this star."
