When Arthur sat down, he began, "This region of Ethera has five sects. There are five sects, not six or seven, because this region of the world can only sustain five sects and not more. If a new sect is to arise, an old sect must give way."
"There is something that sects have that other organizations don't have that makes them sects. That thing is access to the Ethera tree, the tree of life. This access is the foundation of a sect. There are five accesses to the roots of the Ethera tree in this region, so there can only be five sects."
"This lesson is not about the foundation of a sect. It is about the five sects and what sect you choose."
After saying so, Patriarch Calcetti stood up and began pacing around the room. As he moved back and forth, the lighting of the room changed with him.
He was the source of light in the room, so as he moved, some areas became dark when he moved far away, while some areas brightened. He was like a walking, talking lamp.
