Priestess: Those who travel by land and sea, for the sick, the suffering, and those languishing in the chains of torment, let us remember to the Creator.

Priestess: For deliverance from the Horned Things, the hungry and many-eyed, the vulture who flies at midnight, and from all the works of darkness which are wrought in the secret places of the night, let us remember the Creator.
People: Nankeinela, you made us. Remember us.
Priestess: Nankeinela was the First, who made the world by Song. The Stars were the first-made, who dance through the Four Courts of Heaven according to their time. Men were lately made, the world’s last children, but the Children of Water and Starlight hear still the Song which is unending, and the Seafoam and the Starlight will not fade from their blood, though ten thousand Eons pass. Feihoth and Reinfal, tall Lanenomen, Orusen and Hasanyah and Swanfoot Alyeitalya, Sencan and Hasanyah, Fanhal and Thoranrai the Queen, and the sons of sorrowing Nanalon—all Kings and Queens, all the holy heroes of Ranhor’s Isle, all who keep the Oaths of Earth and Heaven; these we remember, these we celebrate, for our life is in their life, and we hold that the Seafoam and the Starlight have not faded from our blood.
People: Nankeinela, you made us, not of constraint, but of your own bounty. Therefore, remember us.
