Role

Chapter 4

note to Velkurah Lorhan Odrirg
Divine Inspiration,
I write this missive at the request of one Odrirg Gorimm, Disciple of the Ki-Rin,
Provincial Magistrate. I sought his advice in a matter most important to me, Minya
Eliai'iriai. As a child, I was carefree, as are many of my people, never looking beyond
moment at hand. When I set out from the Vale, my perspective changed. I found
myself focused, direct, and driven to complete my tasks in an orderly manner. Despite
my actions, I am still considered chaotic to those who have the insight. I dare say that
I've not faltered on my path of order in well over a century. Please help me shed what-
ever pebble still disturbs my pond and guide me to your side.

Odrirg my Goal is the same as it has always been, though I can't claim it is anything
like your own. I hesitated to mention it after you told me your noble cause, because
I felt that mine was somehow insignificant, or .. not as important. Let me tell you now,
all of you, that my goal is to share the beauty of Thera with every sentient being, to
open their eyes to the world around them. It is my goal to capture inspiration on canvas
and to create images that will continue to give, long after my life is gone. I am driven
to write tome upon tome, detailing the creatures, places, people and events of my time
so that the children of our future will know where they came from, their history.

In closing, I thank you for taking the time to consider my request.
Minya
