Now their echoes wander aimlessly, reliving their civilization's doom again and again for more than ten thousand years. I have found that some of the shades yet retain a shred of sentience. Perhaps they can be reasoned with--convinced to free themselves from the mire of their own ancient fear and pass on at last.
