"This World has manifestly Failed She continued, now addressing the room. "You thought yourselves wise to band together. To liive quietly. To embrace"- her lip lifted in a sneer- "civility. With the mortals that used to tremble at the sound of our footsteps."
..... "I have watched holy place after holy place fall to the mortals. Forest after forst. Sea after sea. They dare to walk where they were never meant to walk. And as they do the divine retreats withers dies."
... "They grow more numerous more petty, more vicious, while they foul the world we helped to create with their filth, their noise, thier buildings, and their machines"
I feel like Mother Winter could be the one to say all this almost word for word.
