The Keeper of Trials cannot be called either good or evil. This wizard is completely neutral. When he tests you, he wants you to use your mind and intelligence. Your wit will serve you well. The greatest trial might even be simply meeting him, the necessity of turning to him for help or advice. If you plan to argue with him, prepare your facts in advance. He is cold by nature, and even when he is just, he will not show weakness. Seek him out when you need a push to move to the next stage of your journey.
