[ It may perhaps be a surprise when the Knight shakes their head, slowly. No, that is not exactly the purpose - they won't forget (except, perhaps, if they are returned to darkness once again. And even then - when you mask something, when you give it shape, it does not easily forget it...) ]

[ To engrave something in stone is to give it a kind of immortality. The statues and structures and the glowing remnants of Hallownest proved that; though the king had gone, the echoes of his presence were all around. The architecture of his city had outlasted him, had outlasted all its inhabitants, save a precious few. ]

[ Forever is a word they are hesitant to use. Nothing lasts forever. But even if - or when - they are gone, the words they've made will live on.
