"I've still to meet this Olabach. What is he?"
"You doubt this now?"
He steps at the tail of the stairs and looks at you. For a moment you can finally see his face. "He is the finest sage we've had the pleasure of working with. But beware, his fortune is laden with madness"
"Then he is a patient of this Asylum?"
"Come hither. "
The stairs are weirdly soft and spongy. With each step they deform but return to their original shape. "This is the Tertiary Ward below the Tertiary Tower."
He opens the gate "It is of burn victims, of maimed, cripples, lepers and other similar things."
"Olabach is here because he has no eyes. But you see the irony in that, right?"
