Kiru says that before he became a wizard his work was as the master of opposites, with the full title of: "Librarian of Juxtapositions In All Their Degrees".

He and he alone was responsible for the tracking and recording of extremes.

Kiru says he was chosen because of his ability to withstand the stress of contradictions.

Walking up and down the lanes with bark and pen, Kiru solicited contributions from everyone he met. hot/cold, benign/lethal, inside/outside. The Tribe's reverence for words as sacred symbols affected every aspect of their culture.

Kiru told me some of the many stories which had seeded their epics.
