A... you know what a centaur is? [He knew what dwarves are, but Syrlya couldn't recognize manticores so he can't take that for granted.]

He was someone who wanted to live a peaceful life away from the war of his people. And he and Ronan created a refuge where others could come for safety, and that is where they planted the mother tree. He wrote his beliefs on a stone tablet, and my people have used it as guidance for our place in the world since the Firstborn.

Of course, he died long before we met him. That was a couple centuries ago.
