"I was informed this morning that the curriculum states I must take the class on three outings to places of significant magical value. Well, truth be told, they wanted five.

Tome of the Highfather: The God of Fate
I was a man. A high priest. Not by choice but by politics. I would have preferred to remain with my flock, teaching of the light of Aeruus. Perhaps because of my piousness, or more likely my more open mind, the title of Highfather was transferred to me when the previous one was killed.

Arcanum 101: Artifacts
