Editing Campaign:Era of Dreams/Triune Thought (section)

=== Background ===
Triune Thought's meteoric rise through the ranks of sorcerers began almost immediately. As a mortal, his general aptitude for logic aided him in acquiring a job sorting important sorcery books a the city library. This job he worked for nearly a half a decade without incident.

The proprietor and head librarian had no issue with allowing the young man to read the texts in his offtime, knowing no harm could come of it. Triune Thought held knowledge in too high an esteem to risk damaging the precious books. He happily sorted and read, carefully avoiding stepping on any important Dragon Blood or Deliberator's footsteps. The library was his treasure.

Everything was in a stable equilibrium until Triune Thought was splattered with mud by a passing chariot. Short on time, and on sense he reminisced later, he nevertheless appeared at the library hoping to clean himself before going about his duties. There he encountered the very rider of the chariot who had so skillfully hit the mud puddle.

Disgusted at the appearance of the page, the terrestrial demanded his immediate and permanent vocation termination. At first Triune Thought said and did nothing, wisely avoiding angering the patron further. However, the lack of any noticeable reaction only spurred the haughty man further. Hoping to procure a reason to give a beating, he suggested in no subtle terms that he had the clout to prevent Triune Thought from ever working in a respectable library ever again. When that failed, he even suggested he would have the library deconstructed and built into a new manse designed purely for base and carnal gladiatorial entertainment.

He did indeed provoke a reaction, but before he could understand what was going on he, and everyone in the area, became completely paralyzed by a confounding problem. Immediately engrossed with the koan, "The ultimate answer is 42, the ultimate question; what do you get when you multiply 6 by 9?", no one noticed Triune Thought slip away, avail himself of the library's facilities, and return.

As the terrestrial attempted to resume his tirade, Triune Thought nodded sagely as the man railed on how one should attend to cleanliness in public places, from the lowest page to the highest authority and so on. The raving slowed as the terrestrial slowly noticed first the glowing caste mark upon the page's brow, then the strangely pristine clothes he was wearing, and finally that his own cloak and dress were horribly soiled.

"I must say," remarked the new exalt, "I do find your argument infallible, if hypocritical."

The terrestrial became confounded once more, this time without the use of sorcery.

Triune Thought's exaltation became something of a meme amongst the Dragon Bloods. "Getting Paged" referred to any terrestrial exalt who thoroughly embarrassed themselves for several decades after the incident. Meanwhile, Triune Thought himself had devoured his education, and quickly moved on to what truly interested him, sorcery.

The years spent pouring over books in the library were not wasted upon him. With a mental dexterity and aptitude impressive for even a Solar Exalt, he quickly surpassed expectations.

He was much slower in adjusting to the rigors of Solar social and political life. The Deliberative, while a logical structure, seemed bogged down in unnecessary trifles. Slowly he decoded the framework of politics and high society and added them to his repertoire of skills.

Using them he secured a minor position in the boundless hierarchy of Yu Shan. As Principal Artificer for the Division of Applied Logic, Triune Thought's position and power are minuscule, but he is well attuned to the work, and to those who dwell in power above him.

Triune Thought is a Faithful of the Deliberative. Still relatively young, his voice in the deliberative is seldom heard, but when it is he speaks from a solid base of logic, reason, and reality. Few can argue with the duties assigned by the Unconquered Sun, after all.
