Hilda's Proposition

"All cruelty springs from weakness."
We had legends. We had heroes. Lorule had hope. But all that is gone. Lorule has only me now. Ganon has seized part of our Triforce, but I knew he was coming. Events from the light can be seen in the shadows. I had our Triforce split, and the pieces hidden. Fortunately, Ganon did not have the patience to search for all three, or perhaps he was drunk off the destruction of our armies, and his new alliance with the hungry shadows and the corpses of my people. Be warned, Hyrule, for the dark lord has obtained the Triforce of Willpower. He will be unstoppable in his desire to conquer your world. 
I offer whatever assistance I can, but not with soldiers. They are Ganon's soldiers now. They were all good people. My people. I was too weak to protect them. Lorule is crumbling, but there are still places of refuge. All I can offer to Hyrule is protection. Not of people, for blood is cheap. Ganon would return and harvest them for his cause. I offer protection for the relics of Hyrule. I have hidden pieces of Lorule's last artifact, and I can hide the pieces of Hyrule in the shadows. Ganon's war has forced our kingdoms close together. So close, they are now connected. You must simply find the links between them.
So say I, Hilda of Lorule.
==Notes==
The book establishes Hilda's role in the Last Great War of Hyrule, her contributions to the war efforts of Hyrule, and her decision to split the Lolian Triforce. It also names the Hungry Shadows and the Triforce of Willpower. The book also indicates that citizens of Lorule were corrupted to serve Ganon and that Lorule and Hyrule began to merge during the war.
The book bears a crest adopted by the military of Lorule. It features a purple Lolian Triforce atop a blue crest. The crest is modeled after a diving hawk, with the Triforce as the tail. This is in contrast to Hyrule's wingcrest which features a rising bird. The Lolian crest can also be interpreted as a beetle, symbolizing Lorule's relationship with darkness and decay.
==Background and Inspiration==
The opening quote is by Lucius Annaeus Seneca. Hilda's Proposition also quotes dialogue from A Link Between Worlds. 
Hilda's Proposition was included in version 6.0 and was originally found in The Ruptured Towers - Loss prior to version 6.4. The book's purpose was to present Hilda's perspective on the war, the fate of Lorule during the war, and to add to Ganon's role in the war. The book serves to explain the presence of Lolian artifacts in Skyrim as well as the absence of several items from Relics of Hyrule.
