He came once to our temple to learn about our worship of Abadar, and ended up instructing us. We told him how the most loyal and powerful followers were able to access Abadar's First Vault on rare occasion and retrieve copies of the perfect creations stored there. He assured us that Abadar would never allow such a thing for it could endanger the Vault, and that these worshipers were actually accessing a copy of the First Vault to retrieve the items. During his week with us, this happened several times as the Professor continued to explain our own cryptic beliefs to us. Through the little time I spent with the man, my knowledge and understanding of Abadar were greatly increased and I am a better follower for it.I suspect many of you here may have had similar encounters. Lorrimor gathered knowledge not for his own empowerment and satisfaction. He did this so that he could share it with those around him, enhancing their lives with truths about their environment, the gods, and the world at large. This selfless concern for others is the mark of a great man and a life well lived."</blockquote>
