Science is an enterprise that should be cherished as an activity of the free human mind. Because it transforms who we are, how we live, and it gives us an understanding of our place in the universe.
The universe is large and old, and the ingredients for life as we know it are everywhere, so there's no reason to think that Earth would be unique in that regard. Whether of not the life became intelligent is a different question, and we'll see if we find that.
If you get asteroids about a kilometer in size, those are large enough and carry enough energy into our system to disrupt transportation, communication, the food chains, and that can be a really bad day on Earth.
Minalan recalls Heeth as a scholarly warmage and former butler who was in his class at Inarion Academy, Minalan selects him for a major appointment, choosing him to be in charge of a contentious frontier tower because he is viewed as a sage, warrior, and diplomat. Minalan intends to groom him for receiving a witchstone.
Minalan officially appoints Heeth the Butler as the individual who will be in charge of the contentious tower on his frontiers. He is viewed as a decent scholar and an adept administrator for the role.
Heeth, also referred to as Master Theronial, is promoted and tasked with assisting in arcane theory and history, receiving a shard of irionite. He establishes the Arcanium, a large new hall built for his burgeoning collection of books and research. His duties include compiling a folio of information on the Lost Land of Anghysbel, cataloging enneagrams from Ghost Rock, and assisting in the engineering of snowstone creation spells.
Gareth recommends Heeth the Butler to Minalan for the Arcanist position. Minalan interviews Heeth, who accepts the promotion and the gift of a witchstone. He dedicates himself to three projects: the Vundel, the Forsaken, and Snowstone. He reports finding a detailed account of the Vundel’s legendary history and confirms the snowstone transformation is a quantum matter. He delivers a major formal address (The Arcanist Speaks) to the magi about the Five Matters of Callidore, where he notes the Alka Alon view humanity as pets. He also discovers surviving Children of Rysh and is rewarded with a quiet residence at Cartrefygan where he can contemplate and write.
Heeth is tasked with deciphering the technical language of the Alka Alon tekka found in the treasury, noting the messages are technical nonsense and a highly technical code.
Minalan mentions that Lord Heeth the Arcanist of Vanador is preparing a progress report on his arcane endeavors for review by the Royal Curia.
Heeth consults with Minalan and others regarding the Nemovort iron wand recovered from Darkfaller. He is noted as preparing a progress report detailing the advances made on the various arcane projects before Minalan departs.
Heeth is running the Starlight installation (ancient Alka Alon archive) with Rolof, providing Minalan with access and guidance in using the facility. He is tasked by Minalan with devising a tax policy proposal for the Finance Committee, focusing on commerce fees, and analyzing the feasibility of the Junebug flying machine. He shares an update on Rolof’s mental state and recognizes the massive implications of Minalan studying the Stormbringer molopor. He expresses eagerness to join Minalan’s mission in Farise.
