I found this in some correspondence from Teren Galla, a priest of Maia displaced during the Cold Revolution.
"I was the village priest in a small village by the name of Calderburn in southern Sudec for a few years and among the children of that village was a pair of twins named Taryu and Lemek- sweet little things they were, plump and black haired. As we sometimes see among young twins, they had their own language shared only between themselves and they were slow to learn to communicate with anyone else, but when they did they showed a striking tendency - rather than stating their own wishes, each would translate for the other. It took a long time for them to find their own voices, and even then they preferred one another's company. They were kind and good natured, but the other children in the village saw there was something different about them and, well, you know how children can be. The twins got more insular and took to wandering away from the others. They took to wandering off and several times they went missing and we had to gather up the whole village to search for them. The last time this happened they were out in the forest overnight and although they were found and brought home, little Taryu got a fever and she was terrible sick. I ministered for them as best I could, but there was something there that resisted the goddess' blessings. I wrote to Merwall at the time, but before I got a reply things came to a head and the family left Calderburn."
You must be well under way by now, any interesting observations on the Roil?
