In reality, Festival is nothing like Tamara’s fear and shame paint it. Since most participants don’t remember what happened, including Merran, I went instead to another source. Galadrian Raderth is a sage, a seer and someone who bears a perspective and awareness far beyond our own. I’ve only begun to learn the depths of this character, who spends quite a bit of time whispering in my ear about Azelle and Azellian life. I have my suspicions about just who Galadrian actually is, and I suspect he’ll be surprising me for some time to come—but for now, I am content to ask him questions and see which ones he’ll actually answer. 

Sara: Thanks for sitting down with me, Galadrian. 

Galadrian: It’s my pleasure.
