Biography

The Gifted Stonemason is a Zora who was commissioned by King Dorephan to create a Stone Monument upon which his writings would be inscribed.[3] However, the Stonemason soon found that the stories that Dorephan wanted preserved were too much for a single Monument.[1] Not wanting to alter his writing, they instead split the Monument into seven.[1] In addition to these, they created two more Monuments dedicated to feats achieved by King Dorephan and Sidon, as well as a 10th Monument that describes their own creative process.[4] However, they also had to find a location to place each extra Stone Monument.[5] Despite this, they believed that their name would be remembered forever, so long as they remembered to sign their work.[6]

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 I did not realize how much content he'd give me, though... It certainly exceeded the line limits of a single monument.

    I suppose I could have just shortened the text, but it felt wrong to tamper with our great king's words.

    Thankfully, I was able to split it all between seven monuments to ensure that every word was preserved.

    I have always prided myself on my ability to think outside the box. I am so very adaptable! And humble as well.

  4. While I was at it, I thought...why not add two of my own? And so I created one for King Dorephan and one for Prince Sidon.

    True, this is outside the scope of my commission... But I believe their triumphs deserve as much! But why stop at that...

    Why, indeed! My achievement surely deserves remembrance too. That is how a commission of one became 10.
