Prydyh is the name of the man in the statue at The Poet’s Rest.
He wrote this poem on his statue.
He’s a famous poet and he left on a mission long ago to go keep watch over some thing he was called too, I’m not sure.
(Poet’s Rest) Balz remembers suddenly, a passage from the tower:> Deeper still into geologic gold
Like a sword sheathed in meteors*
I plunged my turbulent and tender hand*
Into the most genital of earthly places*From the “shadow man” encounter at the tower:
The man tells Cricket: “I was a watcher under the towers and I left long ago but part of me was wrapped in this shadow, but the burden has been lifted.” About the Man: He sees in the space of Silas a pale figure being buffeted and swirled around in this darkness. He doesn’t necessarily look thrilled to be where he is. The shadow is possessing him. Silas, a shadow, and a man, all layered over him. Silas is on the outside, the shadow, and then the man on the inside.
