Wall is a high-level adept or emissary of the [[:skyss:pantheon:clewg|Clewgist]] faith, serving as a primary point of contact for [[:skyss:chars:heroes|Heroes]] seeking sanctuary or wisdom within the [[skyss:places:estreham:temple_of_clewg|Temple of Clewg]] in the valley of [[:skyss:places:estreham|Estreham]]. Known for their profound inscrutability and mastery of [[:skyss:pantheon:clewg|Clewg's]] paradoxical teachings, Wall provided the critical esoteric knowledge required to resolve the crisis involving [[:skyss:chars:noren|Noren's]] magical binding.

===== Stories/Function =====

Wall serves a vital expository and philosophical function in the narrative, appearing at the [[skyss:places:estreham:temple_of_clewg|Temple of Clewg]] to guide the [[:skyss:chars:heroes|Heroic]] class through periods of spiritual and strategic uncertainty. Their role is to challenge external "objectives" and force seekers to look past the "garment of illusion" that the [[:skyss:chars:clewgists|Clewgists]] believe constitutes reality. Wall was the individual responsible for explaining the tripartite methods of breaking an involuntary geas, thereby facilitating the eventual restoration and recovery of [[Noren]].

===== Description =====

Physically, Wall is a striking figure who embodies the fluid and transformative nature of the high-level adepts of their order. They stand taller than [[:skyss:chars:yngvild|Yngvild the Fierce]], possessing broad shoulders and a muscular build.  Their face is noted for its smooth, unbearded skin which shows no sign of being shaved, despite their close-cropped iron-grey or silver hair. They typically wear loose, flowing, hooded robes that make it impossible for observers to determine their biological sex. 

Wall is characterised by a "rich warm smile" and a voice that remains friendly even when delivering harsh truths.  They are described as being exceptionally hard to read; even the sentient blade [[:skyss:chars:jafnadr|Jafnadr]] observed that while everything Wall spoke was true, their words were carefully chosen to leave much unsaid. Their gaze is described as inscrutable, making them a formidable presence in any interpersonal confrontation or debate.

===== Personal Life =====

In early autumn of 774, Wall encountered [[:skyss:chars:yngvild|Yngvild the Fierce]] within the sacred grove at [[:skyss:places:estreham|Estreham]]. In a moment of high tension, Wall used a physical embrace to impart a warm sensation that "squeezed the tension" out of the young hero. During their subsequent discourse, Wall dismissed Yngvild's stated objective of saving [[:skyss:chars:noren|Noren]] as a temporary and unsuitable "life objective," instead steering her toward a deeper understanding of destiny and the belief that "everyone has their time". 

Wall correctly prophesied that [[:skyss:chars:noren|Noren]] would be "saved or beyond help" before the current moon had waxed half away. They accurately detailed the three ways to end a geas: relinquishment by the geasor, the death of the geasor, or direct [[:skyss:chars:rituals|Divine Intervention]] achieved through the sacrifice of something "very dear" to the seeker. This guidance directly informed the blood sacrifice and intercession ritual later performed by Yngvild to save her friend.
