1
00:00:07,006 --> 00:00:12,679
It is indeed the very rare
and unusual Ogier

2
00:00:12,762 --> 00:00:17,100
who will decide to leave
their Stedding homes.

3
00:00:20,521 --> 00:00:25,525
In the years that followed the Breaking,
during the Long Exile,

4
00:00:25,609 --> 00:00:29,821
we Ogier wandered lost
in search of our Steddings.

5
00:00:32,908 --> 00:00:38,079
It was then that Ogier began
to succumb to the Longing...

6
00:00:38,872 --> 00:00:41,250
to the point of death.

7
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:47,465
Even after finding our Steddings
once again,

8
00:00:47,548 --> 00:00:51,594
we Ogier continue to be bound
to our homes.

9
00:01:00,268 --> 00:01:05,441
There is no lovelier place
than an Ogier Grove.

10
00:01:08,027 --> 00:01:10,153
With its great trees,

11
00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:14,700
some stand towering
since the Age of Legends.

12
00:01:17,912 --> 00:01:21,039
No Shadowspawn will enter.

13
00:01:21,123 --> 00:01:25,210
There is no way to channel the One Power.

14
00:01:25,585 --> 00:01:28,923
In the Stedding, there is rest.

15
00:01:31,424 --> 00:01:35,638
While humankind has long prized
Ogier masonry,

16
00:01:35,721 --> 00:01:40,141
from Illian, Tear to the great Tar Valon,

17
00:01:40,225 --> 00:01:42,353
it is not the true thing.

18
00:01:44,146 --> 00:01:47,817
For us, it has always been the forest.

19
00:01:49,819 --> 00:01:52,862
You cannot bring stone to life.

20
00:02:05,876 --> 00:02:08,169
When we sing to the forest,

21
00:02:08,253 --> 00:02:12,967
it is much as if the earth itself
sings to us.

22
00:02:15,844 --> 00:02:18,222
As a young Ogier,

23
00:02:18,305 --> 00:02:21,975
I had few prized possessions,

24
00:02:22,058 --> 00:02:25,478
of which, beyond my books,
I have not many.

25
00:02:27,272 --> 00:02:32,569
And whilst there is nothing better
than to be at home in the Steddings,

26
00:02:32,652 --> 00:02:36,781
surrounded by the comforts,
which offer wisdom and peace,

27
00:02:37,031 --> 00:02:40,536
with our beloved groves in sight...

28
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:46,500
true adventure calls.

29
00:02:46,584 --> 00:02:51,881
Adventure that cannot be found in a book.

30
00:02:51,963 --> 00:02:56,801
Adventure that may, in fact,
risk the Longing.
