He was a strange one. But then again, most “holy men” are, especially in the more tribal groups of the Minmatar. I only met him once in passing back during the Serpentis Corporation sponsored humanitarian efforts in the system. He was not what I would call agreeable. Things would have gone a lot smoother without his insanity and interference.

“The wise tell what they saw, the fools tell what they heard”

A Turnur veteran attributed it to that so-called “sage”.

At least, that’s what I heard.

Oh… dang.

While flying through Turnur few days ago, I visited a local flea market and saw a rusty plaque there, inscribed with this:

Father spoke of words of old. A glimmer a void, where escapes little light, love or noise. Fly not unprepared.
But father too, shared words of truth, through winter’s cold; sandstorms manifold; spring Pator blooms; and roaring rain a-couthe. These words compart to fellow human hearts.

First two from the Sage of Turnur, others I will not reveal source.

“O Ashes of Turner remember and strive, waste not water pure… Every seed precious gather garner and shelter, 'ery year.”

“The mothers of Vherokior, they are wise. Heed their calls, write their words songs stories-- winds gently reprise.”

"Beneath the sands there lay things which are valued by those who love light and hope and prayers. A map wherein the place hidden, is indicated, prepared.

enter only with honor and understanding.
Where tread your soles, tread feet where tred feet, have passed those who first arrived.

The first locale to refine.
The second to center hearts and minds.

But wander not for those who guard the sands, the caves, your eddy will stop. And from there thence your treachery reflected, your soul recieve just recompence if ill-prepared. To a knowedge of access, or ignorance, and loss, or to resplendant enduring glory, path clear calibrated and re-alligned."

“Vitor Dranera’s equipment be impure. Seek not his company nor his ear.
Corrupted. Twisted. He knows not how nor whereby to use the tools which mal-instructed he others, retrieved of before.
Fear not the man. Respect the machine. End his carnival of pain. And retrieve from thence all that can be gained.
Keep Midular’s peace, abide by the circles and rays. And no life lost, cannot be, with effort and God, be regained, no matter Dranera’s accost. His order owes steep and payment is due to us, repaid.”
