About this image

And Lord Sil called out the immortal Dragon, saying 'This is my city, SEHT AE SEHT, bound not by the rules you have yet to set. Leave this place, contemptable wyrm; your law holds no sway here.' And the Dragon, seeing the Time outside Time, was powerless to destroy our Lord's eternal clockwork heaven, perfect yet not immutable.
To remind us ever that He saved us from the destruction wrought at Time's claws, he set this pendulum to swing. Should it ever start, it would signal Auriel's return.
