"Soon I think the King will gather us, and march us down into the shadows under the world where the old people go. Too late the sons of Adam will cry: "Where are the children of the earth?" Gone. Look for, but you shall not find them. Weep... for they are gone forever."

The wizened old ghul deflated, the fierce gleam in his eyes fading. "No. Proud, not strong. Blood runs thin. Fewer pups every year. Earth no longer answers my people, just few sorcerers left. Some already lost, become..." He paused, grimacing. "Become animals. Stealing, eating filth, digging in dirt for gems that not speak. Call themselves diamond dogs." He sighed, slumping back down in his seat. He faced the fire, looking away from the two ponies. "Maybe two, maybe three hundred years, no ghuls left. Not much longer, no diamond dogs left. Young prince, last leader of our people."

"Ach, manling, you have some inkling of how far we have fallen. The days of our glory are behind us. Once we created all this. Now we huddle in a few shrunken cities and wait for the end of the world. The day of the dwarf has gone, never to return. We crawl like maggots through the work of elder days and the glory of what once was ours mocks us today."

"But more often we feel sadness... maybe it is the understanding, never spoken, that the Red Talons are dying, that our time is past. We have no place in your Weaver-ruled world, where the Wyld is wrapped in plastic and every meal bears the tang of the Wyrm. We will not have this world, and it will not have us."
—Crookpaw, Werewolf: The Apocalypse: Tribebook: Red Talons
"Lost and done. Our empire is no more, lost in the sands, trampled by insects. Ours is the long slow fade to quiet. Ironic for we whose voices once shook the mountains' roots. Not many left to mourn our passing now, not that you scurrying parasites would bother. Of course we turn to drink... or to the darkness in the North. Both are ways of forgetting what we’ve lost."
