[He shifts slightly.]

All right.

[He's already explained this once or twice to others, but he's still not quite used to it yet.]

The... my world is kept by three Balances. The Balance between life and death, the Balance between creation and destruction, and the Balance of time, between the past, present, and future. When one of the Balances is upset, the world suffers from it.

Each part of the Balance is governed by a Keeper, gifted with all the aspects of both sides of their Balance, and their lands are more closely connected with their Balance than the others. In their lands, there are some who are gifted on one side of the Balance or the other. In the Stara lands, there are those gifted with life, or gifted with death, but the only one who is gifted with both is the Keeper.

[He pauses, hesitating. It's hard to talk about it, a little, because there is the way things should be and the way things are.]

In times passed, the three Keepers formed a council that worked to Balance the world, but... it has been a long time since that council met.

[He sighs and runs his hand through his hair.]

Is this making sense?

[He's worried he's not explaining it well.]
