"It's nice to know that Rockport is so close," Tavion replied to Talrand when he made his report. "It would be nice to restore such an important text, and to hopefully find out more information on what exactly the key is."
When Caitlin asked about his journey to becoming a follower of Majere, Tavion's eyes took on a distant, reflective quality. "It was during a dark time in my life. Before embracing Majere's teachings, this was a tale I kept hidden, even from myself," he confessed. "I escaped Tarsis right before it fell. The experience is seared into my memory: the turmoil, the loss, and the harrowing choices that one should never have to face..."
He paused, collecting his thoughts. "In the aftermath, I found myself adrift in a sea of uncertainty. The world as I knew it had crumbled, and with it, my purpose seemed to have vanished. There was a void within me, a yearning for something to make sense of the senseless, to answer if I had made a horrible decision when faced with one of those harrowing choices."
"I dedicated myself to making up for my mistake, if it indeed was one. That's when I found solace in the teachings of Majere. In the midst of ruin and sorrow, Majere's tenets of discipline, order, and inner strength spoke to me. They enabled me to get up in the morning and not be a waste of a life. Day after day I would wake up and help with something, anything. Most recently it was rebuilding the temple of Shinare in Flotsam. I learned that even in the face of great turmoil, one could find peace and purpose within themselves."
Tavion's expression softened. "And how about you? How did you find your calling?"
