Dragons of a Fallen Sun

The old man is dead. It is really ironic when he died too. Tas just finished telling everybody what he was going to say at the old man's funeral (all the while everyone thinks he is crazy [except the old man], they are just listening to humor him), when the man said he had to go get something to drink. On the way down the stairs, he had a sudden heart attack and fell down the stairs. Everybody ran out of the room and went to where he had fallen. He knew he was going to die any minute, so he called for the guard to come to him. The guard knelt, and the old man said to him, "Tas is a friend of mine from long ago, I believe his story and would be honored if you would too. Will you accompany him to a sorcerer in the West Mountains?". And so he died.
