More about “Let Your Birds Fly”

The Bird Mage, sometimes referred to as The Bird Caretaker, Cratippus Aristippus, walked gently down the path, away from the shrouded palace and towards town; his spiritual energy regarded highly by the villagers. As a man of nobility, his wisdom had guided him through a multitude of events over the years - from the great battle of Normirhien - his homeland - and Karlandol, and the short-lived, but devastating Normirhianese Carrot Famine just a decade prior (Normirhien has since recovered from this incident stronger than ever) to even seeing the emperor die - and a new one shortly thereafter rising to power and changing certain aspects of the way things operated, Cratippus Aristippus had seen it all. In his times, he is remembered for numerous quotes, including the following:

“What is it that thy man will not allow himself to join in those who set themselves free? Here we are, surrounded by darkness and demons that divide us, but of one singular feather we remain yet still. Have all forgotten this sacred truth? We could soar with these wings if we would put aside these differences, so blinding as they may be, and be joined together as a singular force. Don’t pen up your birds in their cages and make it so that the light might never reach their eyes or grace their feathers! Let their feathers be embraced by the wind another day, so that they might triumphantly reach their highest potential. Let them free, send them high! Let your birds fly.”
