From the Ellis Deck, the Knight of Rods; from the Brownies Oracle, Tempest-Tost:
For this restless Knight, it is discovering new people and places that bring him joy. He channels his energy and enthusiasm through movement, always seeking adventure. Yet sometimes he (and the rest of us) get more than we bargained for on our exploits - as Tempest-Tost implies. When I was in my early twenties, I enjoyed backpacking on parts of the Appalachian Trail. On one outing, our group of three got lost due to some poorly marked trails. Losing daylight quickly, we decided we'd better camp for the night and hike out the next morning. One fellow nearly got bitten by a timber rattlesnake collecting fire wood. Had it not been for an attitude of optimism and encouragement among the group, it could have turned out to be an unhappy trip. It only takes one amiable leader to buoy the troops when things look hopeless.
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles.
―Emma Lazarus
