| "Bwire has traveled across many continents and oceans, meeting as many people as he might, all to confirm his hatred of them. Some have said him to be a religious man, but what deity would accept his worship? And then there are those who say his own success in life has made him intolerable, but I can assure you that success had little to do with that.
"From Urborg to Bogardan, Bwire has journeyed far in search of long-lost kin. The goblins say he seeks a twin, born a full year after him; this should tell you much about the goblins, eh? The elves say he was once a half-sewn soul that was accidentally caught on a strong wind. So forgiving are the elves! I say he was born seeking revenge for the disturbance of birth, a debt he'll never settle. From womb to tomb, Bwire will likely not find what he seeks: reasons why. "But such an unpleasant turn my tale has taken! And when I was telling you of Fola! No, no, I understand--he drew Fola like the sun to the horizon, too, just like you. And just like you, she recognized in him the ways of magic, ways she knew could help her find a way to keep the dragon at bay. So what do you think they did next?"
