It is the oldest law in the land... Every citizen in the Empire must carry a sacred pillar to the holy city of Vos Koran. One pillar at a time, with the wisdom of dragons to guide us, my people are building the greatest monument of mankind. But not everyone can carry a pillar themselves. It is a long journey, facing innumerable perils and hardships. That's where I come in. Hello there. Shu Pho Pax is my name, and I am a pillar walker. I've carried pillars for the rich, the poor, the weak and the weary. I've crisscrossed the Empire two dozen times. I've met hermits and trolls, crossed words with bandits and dragons, and I know where to find the best-brewed cup of varat in all of Tol Brek. Let me tell you the story of the Empire, and of how the Empire fell. Let me tell you the truth about dragons, from someone who knows. Let me carry you with me from haunted forests to lonely mountain roads, and tell you tales you've never heard before. This is my story. But the moment you pick up a pillar, it could be yours.
