Crystal Cathedral Records
Adepts Account of a Bonding, 2nd
543 C.D.

When we first had news a new candidate had been found for the bonding the cathedral became more active than it had been in decades. A Bonding was a rare thing indeed, and the bonded were always unique individuals.

Apparently this one was particularly troublesome. He was a Forgemaster from the capital, an older grizzled man. He said that he didn't have the time to leave his work. It took quite a lot of convincing before he made the trip to our Cathedral.

He complained loudly through the entire preparation period. Things about the importance of his forge work and how tight his schedule is. After some time he was sent into the Crystal chamber, alone, as was the procedure with those who would be bonded.

Several days passed before the doors opened again. The Forgeman stepped out with a look of intense anger in his eyes. The bonding mark was clearly visible, it glowed faintly on his shoulder. He left the Cathedral without ever speaking to any of us again. However he was bonded, and he would on some far off day fulfill the duty our god bestowed on him.
