{The Speaker}

[The Speaker] is a figure-head of a small movement of truth-seekers located in Sector Xalia who started to read the Táshi Folio. [The Speaker] felt moved by the words of the anonymous writers who implored the people to rise up and acknowledge the loss of their ancestry, and to actively stand against the Ars instead of letting them continue to stand over them. Prompted to reconstruct the ritual practices of the ancient Ará in the past, the Speaker was one of the first Ará descendants in some decades to make contact with the Spirit World and learn the truth of the universe, the truth of the Ars, the Udo, the Yirim and all things of existence. With this knowledge the Speaker shared these revelations, realizing the power of the ancestral connections that every member of their people held, and slowly but surely, small numbers in the many Xalia communities started to avoid usual observances of The Eighteenth , and start honoring the traditions of their ancestors.
This is one of the greatest affronts to the Ars, as they believe the Eighteenth embody the ideal of perfection and anything outside of it cannot compete. Seeing people who were once adherents to their philosophy then decide to choose something outside of it causes irrational aggression and deepens Ars bias against the Framework they've dominated. The Speaker chooses to fight the hard fight by helping teach the people about their ancestors and is often one of the main voices of support to get The Erá on their way towards securing new lessons and research initiated on ruins and relics hidden in Sector Maraine . The Speaker will even appraise relics at no cost, turning to collective knowledge of details for understanding the hidden clues left behind by the greatest of heroes forgotten to the passage of time.
