The Man of Kardesler

The wanderer of wizened form;
To Izdu's service long afield;
Upon the Well he sought routine;
To ply his wisdom's truth revealed.

His quiet sermon to inform;
Those great and small of Sage's like;
Though bitter fate should intervene;
Accursed Wyrm the Well to strike.

And in the chaos' rising storm;
Attending Wellspring's clarion call;
For mercy spoke, at Congress' scene;
And save the meek and weary, all.
