Your spirit of inquiry and willingness to admit what you do not know is admirable. I extend my invitation to you, and to all who would further their knowledge of Ashtan's culture and ethos, to seek me out.

If the good faith you profess is genuine, you will be my honoured guest. As for those who seek to waste my time or Ashtan's, we have alternative ways of enlightening you.

In pursuit of Ruin,
Alashi Shiva
Magister of Bedlam, Director of Culture, Archon of the Seat of Chaos
