He's pleased to give David something new, and something he quite likes. "I hadn't had it until I traveled," he agrees. "One of my favorite pieces of travel."
Adventure. Let's see.
"My world, Hydaelyn, is to some extent in an earlier time than yours, but also more advanced. Part of that is that we have had multiple cycles of civilization and collapse. I told you I was 2000 years earlier than someone else I met. There are civilizations two, four, six thousands years older than mine -- some we understand, some we've lost.
"This is relevant only because my world is truly littered with ruins. Many have been looted, but a surprising number have not."
Cue pirate.
"When I first joined up with sky pirates, I was sixteen and quite frankly a naive imbecile. But I had court style magic and I was clever. So they took me along into a series of tombs in the Estersands. Nothing that hadn't been combed a thousand times, but I daresay my eye even at 16 was more attune to the historical and magical elements than the average pirate." Which was why they'd taken him in; his piracy skills hadn't been much to speak of.
