Another Title for the Pile

Life, Achievement/ Win

Ager is named a zaman kansa by the Queen of the Sable Hegemony for "services rendered to the throne". For someone not a noble -- not even from Calda -- to be granted this honor sends shockwaves through the nobles of the Hegemony.   Rumors abound as to what the services rendered were, but nobody is able to uncover the story behind story.

On his travels, Ager accomplished many great deeds, uncovered and explored several ruins, and helped make life easier for many of the towns of Calda. Words of his exploits reached the Queen. Stories of a man not from Calda, wandering the lands in search of... something. Adventure? Riches? Glory? Power?   None of the nobles were able to understand the motivation of this strange man from a distant land. Spies were sent, and returned empty handed. Threats were made, only for bluffs to be called. The few times a noble tried to follow up on the threats with actual force, Ager's luck would come to his rescue.   Hired bandits would become lost in a desert or turned back by some rampaging creature. Assassins with a tally of kills longer than they were tall found every opportunity ruined through the most mundane occurences. Numenera deployed against him lost their power, or stolen before they could be used.   Because just like the nobles of the Steadfast, none of the nobles of Calda would believe that someone who accomplished the things Ager did would have a motivation as simple as "make people's lives better".
