There was a history before History ...

“...There was a history before History, Of a time before we wandered the land like beasts,Before we descended into chaos,When Juro wore our civilization like a crownAnd women flew like birds;A time when we knew the ages of the stars,Before we forgot who we were.
"It is our task to remember,If not what we once knew, At least to remember that we once knew itAnd to remind others so that we will Not descend so deeply into chaos again."
This is a passage from the convocation ceremony of the College of Singers. On this day, Astrid  became a Journeyman and took her stage name as Singer.
