Sing to me of the Six-Fiingered man, Muse. The man who wondered between worlds…Sing of his glory and his grief, his burden and his brilliance. He, who worshipped the Sun, and promised gold, but succumbed to the Stars, and drowned in pools of wing-wax. He, who vowed to endure the trails of All-Wise Axolotl. He, who refused to rest until he himself brought about the end of his once fickle friend, the Eye of False Providence.
