Jigano was surprised but pleased that 108 wanted to hear more about the loreseekers. He was proud of bringing them together, and prouder still of the bright minds who had chosen to join him. His lips quirked a little at being called wise, however, and he gave a little shake of his head in negation. "Wisdom? No... I do not think I can lay claim to that. I experienced many strange and unusual things before I came to Caido, though. More than most my age would have. Perhaps more than many do in their entire lifetime. I think it has given me insight, perhaps, and confidence in dealing with novel situations. But I am not immune to letting my heart overrule my head at times." He spoke ruefully, but there was a mournful twist to his voice at the end.

"But in this, I suppose I am leader because no one else thought of the idea first... that, and I don't need to know everything, or even most things about this world." His lips twitched into a smile again. "Though I want to, and I continue to seek out information and answers. But the purpose of the guild is, largely, so that people can have different speciailizations and interests. If I have a question on medicine or surgical knowledge, I can turn to Isla. There are two native-born who have long personal histories with the Atheneum, and if they don't know an answer themselves, they may be able to guide us to the right area. Sam is well-read in poetry and fiction. Amalia is familiar with the Old Gods and with practical aspects of baking and cooking. We all have personal interests as well as our own professional skills, too, questions we seek to answer for our own curiosity." He tilted his head at the Spire, looking at it with a smile that turned more challenging as he considered it with what he knew now.

"Before, I noticed people would come to the Atheneum to try and research many of the same questions - Outlanders all need to know the same basic information on dangers and history when they arrive, and the mystery of the spire, its guardian, and the barrier have long been topics of curiosity for many, even within these hollowing grounds. But... everyone was looking for answers separately, and the information that they did find wasn't necessarily shared with others, or being written down for easy access later. Maybe it's foolish but... I had hoped to create a sort of central repository of knowledge, for people to ask questions and provide answers to what they find. The Loreseekers Guild is meant to act as curators of that knowledge, helping people find answers to their questions swiftly and efficiently, and making sure that important information is available to be widely disseminated. Whether it's knowing what plants are good to eat rather than poisonous, or how to splint a broken leg, or... or what role the spire truly plays in this land where its purpose has largely been forgotten in the passing of generations."

He turned to look at 108 again, giving her a full smile, though by now he did not expect her to return it. It just wasn't her way, but then, neither had it been Cassandalee's. "You would be welcome to our Hall below the Atheneum," he offered. "If you wished to see for yourself what we're doing. We're small yet, newly convened and just barely beginning our work... but the Atheneum is a large place, with much knowledge hidden in books that have been unopened for centuries. It is a good place to find knowledge of a great many things, and at least some of those books have been written in the years while you've been resting, or by outlanders with experiences beyond the barrier."
