| Wall serves a vital expository and philosophical function in the narrative, appearing at the [[:skyss:places:temple_estreham|Temple of Clewg]] to guide the [[:skyss:chars:heroes|Heroic]] class through periods of spiritual and strategic uncertainty. Their role is to challenge external "objectives" and force seekers to look past the "garment of illusion" that the [[:skyss:chars:clewgists|Clewgists]] believe constitutes reality. Wall was the individual responsible for explaining the tripartite methods of breaking an involuntary geas, thereby facilitating the eventual restoration and recovery of [[Noren]]. | Wall serves a vital expository and philosophical function in the narrative, appearing at the [[skyss:places:estreham:temple_of_clewg|Temple of Clewg]] to guide the [[:skyss:chars:heroes|Heroic]] class through periods of spiritual and strategic uncertainty.

| In early autumn of 774, Wall encountered [[:skyss:chars:yngvild|Yngvild the Fierce]] within the sacred grove at [[:skyss:places:estreham|Estreham]]. In a moment of high tension, Wall used a physical embrace to impart a warm sensation that "squeezed the tension" out of the young hero. During their subsequent discourse, Wall dismissed Yngvild's stated objective of saving [[:skyss:chars:noren|Noren]] as a temporary and unsuitable "life objective," instead steering her toward a deeper understanding of destiny and the belief that "everyone has their time". | In early autumn of 774, Wall encountered [[:skyss:chars:yngvild|Yngvild the Fierce]] within the sacred grove at [[:skyss:places:estreham|Estreham]].

| Wall correctly prophesied that [[:skyss:chars:noren|Noren]] would be "saved or beyond help" before the current moon had waxed half away. They accurately detailed the three ways to end a geas: relinquishment by the geasor, the death of the geasor, or direct [[:skyss:chars:rituals|Divine Intervention]] achieved through the sacrifice of something "very dear" to the seeker. This guidance directly informed the blood sacrifice and intercession ritual later performed by Yngvild to save her friend. | Wall correctly prophesied that [[:skyss:chars:noren|Noren]] would be "saved or beyond help" before the current moon had waxed half away.
