The Mad Bard, Master of Illusion and Puppetry

It isn't a question of who is real and who isn't. Because the afterimages are very real, And his masquerade has always been a part of this realm.

The Founder is everywhere. This land is his, made from his very soul and blood. And he always worries about our wellbeing, our safety in his absence. So he walks beside us in shadow, masquerading for eternity.

No it's rather a question of why he's appearing to you specifically so often.

You're not going crazy. I assure you. I dare say, you're the most sane person alive, If he's appearing so often in your presence and dreams.

He doesn't trust people often. Not after Hunter and what happened to Devire.

But I had a good feeling about you the moment you arrived. Maybe your fate is tied to his. Who knows, until he discloses it? Until then, don't stress too much about it. You are where you are supposed to be.
