A gift from Tawesek, received/chosen by Balthazar.
It’s been suggested to me that saying who “knows” each of these stories is only an obscure way of highlighting their biases. So to make things clear as mud:
Crickett, Mannix, and Krambler will have (mostly) heard things from Mons’ followers.
Krambler may have heard the stories told at Tawesek in ways slightly different than the way others have heard them, generally speaking, in the stories where chaos and nature are seen as evil, Krambler’s versions would have more nuance.
Balthazar will have heard things from followers of Mons, but also from a broader set of traditions - people who follow other gods, and have other - more cosmopolitan - outlooks.
Silas will have heard stories from the Druids.
Bardh is/was an Old World poet - so he’s more aligned with Balthazar, but knows a lot of Old Lore.
Kelynnen comes from, well, a different tradition.
