Ah, another look at Roshim's earlier days! Although much earlier than last time, I think. This has got to be way before the storm and the mission to find knowledge about how to repair the damage from said storm. [That quest can't have been going on for almost 20 years now, I don't think.]

Head Balthus seems younger here, no white in his beard or hair.

Some kind of graduation from the education system of the tower, before Roshim would be at work as a carver.

he said they are to depart aphaelai within the week, making this right before the start of roshim's journey.
19 years is how long they have been under the tutelage of the old ram. not how long it's been since roshim left.

Ah yes, right.

Man, I adore all the world building you’re putting into this project

Lovely scene! :)
