"Welcome to the order of the Observates. Our mission has, and always shall be, to observe the truths concealed within the beliefs.
My name is Greggor. I maintain only my family name, as I was born in this order and know nothing different. We Greggor's have received the truths for two-thousand years and passed them on to other Observates as well as down through the generations of our own family. The first Greggor received the truths from the Zultai family who, in turn, received them from another. As beliefs differing from the consensus, tend to be destroyed or ostracised; the first Observate Truthholder deemed that the truths shall only be recorded and recited vocally and from memory.
Take comfort in the fact that you shall receive the truths, but do not become overwhelmed with their implications. I am the last Greggor but with me shall not die these truths. And do not fear, for outside observers are necessary to gain perspective. Your task is to receive the truth and past it on to other observers. We do not question these truths, because our place is not such.
It is true that some recitations may seem to lack detail or perspective in some aspects. But, such is the downfall of oral recitation from memory. An observer takes from a scene what they sense of it and a reciter will repeat what they felt of it. These truths, in turn, become a personal journey. A journey constantly tainted by human nature, clouded by personal perception, and buried in triviality.
Prepare yourself to receive these truths. And hold these truths to be self-evident."
