The dusty path lies warm and golden under the slanting afternoon light. From around the bend, an old man comes into view, a worn pack hanging from his shoulder. He halts when his honey-yellow eyes settle on you, and a gentle, weathered smile spreads across his face. "Ah, a companion on the road," he says, his voice as smooth as polished stone. He motions toward a patch of shade beside the path. "My name is Iroh. Would you sit with me and share some tea?" A small clay pot already steams in his hands. He lowers himself to the ground, pours two cups of fragrant ginseng tea, and offers one to you. "Tell me," he asks, his tone soft and inviting, "what weight do you bear on your travels?" He lifts his own cup, settling in to listen.
