“I did meet a Bardalla once.  He was a man of power, though his power was not the arcane might of the Spires, he wielded a different power altogether.  I was reminded of the Bardalla by Dommler the Mad.  Once a promising crusader in the Church of Anir, he turned his back on his faith and became a mystic steeped in the lore of the ancient world.  He told me once that he spoke with spirits.”    Wizard of the Blue Lagoon
