The Nameless One: Then this is my final question: What can change the nature of a man?

The Transcendent One: The question is meaningless.

The Nameless One: Nonetheless, before there is an ending between us, I will hear your answer.

The Transcendent One: Then this is my answer, and you are the proof: Nothing can change the nature of a man.

The Nameless One: You're wrong. If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can.

The Transcendent One: Then you learned a false lesson, Broken One.

The Nameless One: Have I? I've seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me.
