'A very good question Arvens, and one I've asked myself many times over the ages. What good is being immortal if you don't have anyone to share it with? That's the drawback of being immortal, that you are alone, utterly alone. My answer is that by living so long, you become a symbol to those around you, a symbol of the past. Mortals are always wondering what the world was like before they existed, and immortals are able to answer their questions as far as they are able to."
