Adventurer
With the advent of madness and winter, Byrrl withdraws into the Green Dream cloaking himself in the trees of his birth. And with a touch of something new the madness passes. From his grove, Byrrl reaches out through the Green Dream to assess how life fared during the madness and winter: his trees and plants seemed immune to madness, yet fared poorly in winter; his animals were likewise resistant to madness, though some, he saw, showed an odd weakness to it; also his animals experienced hardship in winter. Looking throughout the rest of creation, Byrrl sees that humans seemed to fare worst of all and he resolves to take action. Surprisingly, he discovers a race of creatures living beneath his boughs that he had, at first, not sensed and he resolves to seek them out soon.
First, however, he returns to that tree that housed his consciousness and still stands next to the rocky form of Ilem Nth Sabbatur and black-robed Hash'Mileak. Looking about he sees a third god nearby working his power upon a silvery sphere that circles the earth. Examining this god Byrrl sees he seems to be akin to Hash'Mileak.
Sensing the Empyrean is occupied with another(!) being above, Byrrl turns with a frown to the god of war and death, "Hash'Mileak, your humans did not fare well during this new winter. Many starved for lack of food. I can teach them ways to survive but I will not do so without your permission." Turning to Ilem he makes the same offer. "Ilem Nth Sabbatur, your dwarves fared well sheltered within the earth, yet your gnomes, living near the surface, were more vulnerable. I offer the same to you: I will teach your gnomes to better survive, with your permission."
