"Many have returned after the destruction, more than I first thought would have survived. Each and everyone puts the pieces together, and these are the ones that the grandmasters have noticed. The choosen." - Guildmaster Telanis on the Form register page of the Guildmaster Telanis website.

Let me tell you about some of the most important people in D'ni History.... There are a lot of important figures we need to remember... There was Pehpsi, whose spirit was a light no matter how dark the Cavern was... Moz'ie, JDrake, Dust'ei, Aquila, Rasmine. People we have lost. But have made our lives so much the richer. And there are those who are still here.... More than I can name or remember... And for every one of them, there are a dozen others that work hard, help each other and never receive an iota of thanks or recognition. But these people are our history, this is our mythos. If you are here, you are part of that history. Every word you say is part of it. Every conversation is another chapter. - J.D. Barnes in Ae'gura following the DRC's Exodus, 05 November 2007.

“There are a lot of people who put a lot of work and some of their life into this world.” - from an entry to URU Exploration – Nah’dneb’s Journal on Feb 4, 2008.
