“What are the gifts given to we who live Below?" "Long life, health, strength, and happiness." "What is the curse of those who live Above?" "Short life, illness, weakness, and misery." "Is this fair?" "It is fair. It is as the gods decreed at the time of the Divide. Some have to stay Above so that humanity might survive Below." "Then give thanks.”
