1.

Picked to succour, teach and guide,

A role in which they take some pride,

Thoughts and words a flowing stream,

And more perceptive than they seem.

Who are they?

2.

They’re tall of form; their mind is keen,

Their penetrating eyes are green,

To anar craft from crafting dye,

An arrow carving through the sky.

Who are they?

3.

Plagued with doubt, consumed by fear,

Their judgement was beyond severe.

Blocking speech and barring sight,

And tainting dreams that foul the night

Who are they?

4.

From sunlight on a distant beach

They came to guide, to lead, to teach,

But angered by how people grew

They razed the land to start anew.

Who are they?

5.

A deeply rooted mountain pine,

An older Master of the nine,

With draught and distillate he heals,

He sees the truth that death conceals.

Who is he?

6.

Harpist with a restful song,

Healing power uniquely strong,

Loathing threatens to devour,

This woodland soul with woodland power.

Who are they?

7.

From bandit castle in the east,

In anar power among the least.

Giv’n the choice to turn away

From Jarvic’s cruel, corrupting sway.

Who are they?

8.

A master certain of their place,

Who walks with soft and feline grace.

They warn against excessive zeal,

And use the power of fire to heal.

Who are they?

9.

A cloak of history trails behind

This teacher who is wise and kind,

With ocean’s calm but tempest’s rage

None can guess their real age.

Who are they?

10.

A silvered hound on distant isle,

They listen through debate and trial,

Recording what was said unblurred

In memory and in written word.

Who are they?

11.

Their eyes are brown, their hands are warm,

They gallop loudly through the storm.

They lost a duel, and so became

An anar with a different name.

Who are they?

12.

Instinct driv’n, alone she came

With powers none of her kind could claim:

Colour vision, healing purr.

A home was found that suited her.

Who is she?

13.

A mage of air with anar power,

Surveying from the highest tower,

With blackest hair and silvery eyes,

They lead the Council of the Wise.

Who are they?

14.

Lonely wastes of freezing space,

A castle where they had no place,

Fearful, silent, shadow bound,

Till Anhame turned their path around

Who are they?

15.

No higher senses could they claim,

Yet to the dragon’s house they came,

To seek the darkmage who they swore,

Their blade would guard forever more.

Who are they?

16.

To knowledge pledged and logic bound,

In libraries they’re often found.

They’re in a highly sought elite,

Who have four trials to complete.

Who are they?

17.

With sapphire eyes and sunsilk hair,

Their speech sense is beyond compare,

They crave attention power draws,

The sparkling gem conceals their flaws.

Who are they?

18.

Stern but upright, strict but fair,

With piercing gaze and silvery hair,

From birth accustomed to command,

A fate-touched guardian of the land.

Who are they?

19.

Scorned though in an honoured role

They turned to Speech to seize control.

Their reign was fleeting and once caught,

To Anhame’s justice they were brought

Who are they?

20.

He might have triumphed in the test

Were it not that he possessed

A soulform deemed to be too flawed

To lead the Masters as their Lord

Who are they?

21.

Of the Wise though young in age,

With water’s power and so a mage.

A soulform with mercuric gleam,

Imbued with strength to swim upstream.

Who are they?

22.

Disarmed and terrified they came

Before the great gates of Anhame.

A poisoned needle they revealed,

To make the anar Lady yield

Who are they?
