What sort of stories did you write? I'd have loved to branch out a bit more, but at least in my own world, my duties prevented me from having much time for leisure.

Short stories, and one novella. Stories with themes of dualism, the imperfection of perception and how reality is inherently uncertain... Mostly stories with a historical backdrop.

I do occasionally try my hand at something lighter, but I fear I'm too gloomy a person for that. Those who can write humor well have my utmost respect.

You would probably love my brother, then. He's a brilliant man in other respects.

One of the finest bards I've ever come across, actually.

A bard! That's an impressive career. I can write, but live performance is far beyond my ability. And some of the stories bards tell from memory are enormous.

Much of the lore in my world has survived more in the form of oral tradition than being committed to text.

I suppose you could, and people have, but that does ruin the effect, doesn't it?

As someone who loves stories, I understand wanting to hear it in its original form. But as a scholar, I appreciate lore being written down to survive the people who told those stories.

I don't suppose we could have both.

My own late mother was a scholar of planar lore, so I suppose the apple didn't fall far in his regard.

I don't know what planar lore is, but it sounds fascinating.

Certainly your world has theologians?
