Role

Chapter 9

I have become the Mason of the Paragon, an honor I did not think possible for
a dwarf of such poor heritage. However, devotion to her will has led me to
become the highest of all mason's to serve her, and so now I seek to become
the Voice of the Paragon. Mastery of the earth, lengthy as it was, was not
all there is to truly follow Ysaloerye. I turn now to the forge, the other
area of which all her followers must choose between. So as I did as a mason,
I begin again at the forge, learning the skills and sharpening my mind. As
before, I must learn and reply to the Paragon's questions.

I am to visit the forges of Thera, to find the type of stone favored by
smiths. Once I have discerned what it is, I am to ponder why it is favored as
such. Being a mason, such might prove difficult, as all manners of stone have
unique properties, each which give them their own value. I shall ponder the
paragon's query and give her my answer when I am best able though, as
learning all I can of her teachings drives me onward, as it always has, as it
shall always continue to. In redeeming my name, I can think of no better way
than to have the Paragon's blessing and speak with her voice, as her thoughts
and words be in tune with that of all true dwarves.
