Galand is invited to see Rhys Iaokim – failed Astromancer Candidate – at the Temple. There, Rhys thanks Galand for saving him from some embarrassment at the Inauguration Ball … and has a business proposition. Rhys has lost a great number of friends in the Temple, and is interested in making new ones. For starters, he would like Galand's help to escort him for forays outside of the Temple … and he hints at some other lucrative job opportunities. Galand gets an earfull about Rhys' true identity … and the history behind the Temple. It's quite overwhelming for the Khatta, but he handles it well, and is interested in any employment opportunities that Rhys may provide.
