"No," he says softly. "I would not. The barrier has created a larger problem, in its three centuries of existence. The Voice was able to execute her machinations to bring it down, and no one within the barrier was able to inform the outside about it. Not to mention the loss of the heralds, and the impact it had on those who were left behind in the Hollowed Grounds."

and that, I believe
is why you are in so much pain
