[Regis takes a moment to catch his breath here. While the pain is minor at best, it still hurts. Talking with Curufin is a blessing, a welcomed one. He's able to ignore most of what ills him but still, this is a grievous wound.]

T'was the Infernian who betrayed humanity and poisoned our world with a blight so terrible that none could cure it. Not even the Gods. [A deep sigh follows as he takes his time to answer. Curufin's interest in his realm is quite refreshing.] The Infernian or better known as 'Ifrit', was one of the Six. When the other deities saw potential in us, Ifrit only saw arrogance. He thought to purge our world of humanity and restart anew by using the Starscourge to kill us.

[Regis pauses momentarily as he tries to mull through his hazy thoughts.]

The Gods, thankfully, didn't share his low opinion of us. Therefore, we were spared by their charity but the royal line of Lucis was forever cursed to walk a bloody path in the name of the Gods. For centuries, my house has...served them. Our Crystal is indeed a holy relic bestowed us by the Gods. It is a physical representation of their power.

[He falters some when Curufin mentions the Oracle. He suddenly feels the need to be a tad tight lipped about Lunafreya and his son both. However, he does answer the man's next question with a smile.]

Indeed, he is. My dear son is amongst us but...we were separated in the colisuem.

[Regis turns to eye Curufin with some wonder once the other mention their son's name.]

Celebrimbor? Goodness, what name! May I ask what it means? It sounds as if it holds meaning.
