"Dawn broke over Ardaig, and from the tower on Eidh Hill kettle-drums spoke their ancient prayer."
-Ensign Flandry, CHAPTER FOURTEEN, p. 141.
"He saw a building blocky against the clouds, and on its roof a gong to call for prayers to the God of a world two and a half light-centuries hence."
-A Circus Of Hells, CHAPTER ELEVEN, p. 275.
"'The real reward for you, my almost-daughter will be in the service itself. And knowing that your name will be in the Secret Prayers while the Vach Urdiolch endures.'"
-A Circus Of Hells, CHAPTER SEVENTEEN, p. 332.
