One of the Two, whose names are the same in every language of Aethorra, which no other name is. Two men, one never seen without the other for long: warriors no one has beaten, statesmen who have sat at councils nobody can date, teachers of children in every realm, speakers of every tongue as a native. Every teller gives their age in thousands of years and describes men in the prime of life. Nobody knows where they came from and nobody has a grave. In the Southdowns Nick is the taller; in Tharxa Dan is. The Cherüsh tale has Nick learning their whole language in a night from a captured Kaishoni primer and, asked which he had learned, saying, 'Yours.' The goatherds of the Llovo call a spring below Erbavo Fojo Nick's Spring, and the church has renamed it three times. No chronicle entry proves or disproves him, every realm has a scholar who has tried, and sightings are recorded as claims in the words of the person who made them. Feared, respected, loved; never beaten, never buried.
