The Sage

The Sage is a member of the Council of Stonewall and leader of the Mudder's Rebellion. He wears a pale, mud-stained robe made of linen, and walks with his feet always bare.

Shortly after his mysterious arrival in Stonewall, a middle-aged man known only as 'The Sage' took charge as the religious leader of the Mudfront. For many years, the people of Stonewall saw the mud as a symbol of uncleanliness and impurity. The Sage, however, believed that the mud represented a sincere connection between the land and her people. He taught those of the Mudfront to believe in their own strength, not in arms or armour but in courage, fortitude, and spiritual purity. Utilising his talent in oration, the Sage encouraged the people to revolt against their oppressors, which sparked the beginning of the Mudder's Rebellion.

The Sage continued to be an important contender in the Rebellion. He played a significant role in the glorification of the First Heroes of Stonewall, and survived an assassination attempt on the Night of Shadows. He heralded the return of Nemeia the Benevolent, and performed the ritual of The Submergence for those who would become the Second Heroes of Stonewall. Shortly before the Storming of Stonewall, the Sage was kidnapped from his residence by Lord Ironfoot and taken to Stonewall Prison where he was tortured for information about Stonewall's rumoured demonic inhabitant. When he refused to give in, Ro'Nagash the Bull-Toothed gouged out the Sage's eyes, permanently blinding him. The Sage was rescued during the Storming of Stonewall, and quickly resumed his service the Mudders by establishing the Council of Stonewall following the collapse of the Ironfoot regime.
