New page

The oldest living [[Cysgor]], Balaam is Septarch of the [[Cysgoroesi|Oula (Owl)]] sept. An arch traditionalist and foe of [[Jael of Myji]] and [[Zadok of Bran Vras]], he supported [[Arnyek]]'s experiments until the depth of his insanity was revealed and the mad abbot was exiled.

== Politics ==
Balaam believes that the only way to prevent the Great Decline is to hold to the traditions even more firmly and reforge the [[Pact with Death]]. It must be noted, however, that his idea of the pact is not exactly the same as the [[Watcher]]'s idea. He believes that the Pact was that the [[Cysgor]] would be masters of [[Shadow]], taking the burden from the [[Watcher]] entirely (although not supplanting that being's role as Guardian of the Gates, however). He also firmly rejects the portion of the pact where the Owls would report to [[Leviathan]]...or at least would if he knew about it. He is intensely nationalistic and fairly xenophobic, believing that the [[Cysgor]] should have as little to do with other peoples as possible. Those of other races are tools to be used and discarded, although he doesn't believe in the cysgor dominating other races or mistreating them. Just wants them to separate out and have no contact (contamination, as he says).

== Capabilities ==
Unknown.

== Appearance ==
Old, wizened, but still in good health. His notable feature is his nose, which appears much too large for his face. He is good-natured about it, however. Despite his reputation, he is fairly jovial and pleasant to be around.
