A Collective History Volume 6
"My friends, fear not...some charades are meant to end. While we serve Tyria with our magics of mirage, misdirection, and even the manipulation of time itself, I cannot carry on as I have, not without sharing this bit of truth, my truest self. Your companionship is worth more to me than any secret that is solely mine to keep. My name is Mabon; I am mursaat." * Mabon, formerly "Obryn", Fifth Veil addressing the inner and outer councils.
We all have our secrets. I was a fresh face to the inner council and a new father; my son still but a babe wobbling beneath Bear's protective gaze. The veils of both councils and even the keener members of the Shroud were wary that the collective's Fifth Veil, one of its founders, had spent over a century participating at a distance. There were some folks, me included, who were ignorant of the mursaat and their history. Third Veil Seeta Losthour and I were the first to speak with Mabon after the councils' deliberations—if he should remain on the inner council, much less in the collective. I wanted to reintroduce myself, offer him a drink or ten at the Muse's Bar, on my tab. He obliged, perhaps only out of guilt, but I assured him he was among friends—he still is.
A few glasses in, Mabon was as generous with our questions as I suspected he could be. It was clear that he had allegiances beyond the collective—many of us do. He was stressing over a trip northward, to Janthir, to the ruins of an old mursaat city. Said it was penance for the past, a promise made, "one former monster to another."
