PethCharacter
Peth is an apprentice, noted by Elder Thoss as carrying half of a body of knowledge for two Cycles without being told a second half existed, following the teaching method of Lenne and her predecessors. Peth bears the stone-notch mark of an unranked apprentice and was observed by the Null-Walker during an encounter in mountain air.
