Njordir Sage

A Njordir sage is the senior Earth Channel caster of a mountain hold and keeps the record of what its stone has been asked to do and by whom. Sages sit in the deep halls and are consulted before any passage is cut or widened. They are slow to agree to a working and do not reverse an agreement once made.
