A Gift to Palor

by Tycho Ralesh

Lord Summerford had provided the party with a letter of introduction to Derider Fanshen, asking her to consider what they had uncovered in High Ery. Upon seeing her for the first time in years, Tycho was smitten anew for a host of reasons: she is unobtainable and therefore a challenge; she is alluring powerful and therefor a peer in his eyes; she is beautiful and therefore desirable, and she is devoted to compassion—which is for Tycho, the truest expression of fairness and justice. Derider had been a hero to Tycho ever since she healed him from near, perhaps certain death, when he was thirteen. Though she is unlikely to recall this encounter, it left an indelible mark on him.

After their one-sided reunion (she showed no signs of remembering him), Tycho performed an investigation in the hopes of approaching her personally. He had sought to learn of her personal diversions: a beloved treat, or perhaps her favorite song or flower. He asked all the right people the right questions and discovered only the truth: she is selfless. Nothing he could do for her would make an impact, for she wanted nothing for herself. He respected her all the more for it, and 'seeing' through her eyes, he knew what he should do for her...though she might never know it.

Tycho found himself at the Temple of the Radiant Sun. He made the first of many and varied donations...a trade bar of pure gold accompanied by a note that read: “This gift was inspired by her selfless example.”
 
Tycho, genuinely did his best to do this anonymously.
