<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-b">When the <span class="mu-s">Golden Goddesses</span> discovered the wickedness that had taken root in the hearts of the first <span class="mu-s">Sheikah</span> clan, they rebuked them utterly. They were cursed with red eyes, and a pale complexion, so they could be easily distinguished from the <span class="mu-s">Hylians</span> that had not strayed from the path taught by the <span class="mu-s">Goddess of Light</span>. This is how they came to be known as the <span class="mu-s">Shadow Folk</span>, and those that did not already dwell on <span class="mu-s">Kakariko Atoll</span> were exiled there. Their numbers began to dwindle, and history began to fade. Seeing what could be the end of their tradition, the Elders gathered at the <span class="mu-s">Pagoda of Echoes</span> and swore a sacred vow that the <span class="mu-s">Sheikah</span> would atone for their transgressions against the <span class="mu-s">Goddess of Light</span>, no matter the cost, thus beginning countless generations of <span class="mu-s">Sheikah</span> dedicating their entire lives to the kingdom, yet remaining always in the margins, operating in secrecy, avoiding the public <span class="mu-s">eye</span> but always <span class="mu-s">watching the shadows for danger</span>...</span></span>
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-s">An incarnation of Hylia gathered the Six Sages, combining their powers to seal away the great shadow demon,</span> <span class="mu-r">Umbravarth</span><span class="mu-b">, trapping his essence within a Horned Statue many hundreds of years ago. The Sheikah placed this statue in the same dungeon where they had previously locked away their mortal prisoners, and it became the Shadow Temple.</span></span>
When you've finished, you fall onto your knees, trembling... So much of what you thought you knew about your people has been a lie... So much has been kept hidden. It is difficult for you to reckon with this dark legacy. It makes tears well up in your eyes.
What will you do in the wake of this revelation?
>Take the sandal, it will be a passable relic, and leave this place
>Leave without an artifact, go to the Pagoda of Whispers to confront the Elders at once about the lies you were raised with
>Steel yourself and proceed to the Shadow Temple, you must see more of the truth</span>
