Chapter 3

Telez was a proud man. Partly from heritage, partly from youth, Telez derided
any showing of weakness. A warrior he was not, but such did not mean that one
could not be strong. Telez refused to heal those he found to lack strength of
their own. He was not quick to anger, yet held grudges close to his heart,
and did not forgive those who betrayed his trust. Such was the code of honor
of the Al'Rahka.

Telez despised, of course, those who held any strong connections to the
cities. However, those who appeared to have no preference one way or the
other, Telez cared little for, except to use them further his goals. He
viewed these latter people simply as sheep, easily swayed to follow whichever
force came out as victors.

Telez became a healer not out of choice (not that he had any particular
preference), but out of the powers granted by the spirits of the waters. He
found out soon enough that he could mend the small wounds of his body, and
create food and water simply by asking for it. Telez realized that how was it
possible to heal Thera of the pox that was civilization, if he had no
strength to heal? Such was only natural that the spirits imbued him with the
powers to heal and restore.
