Genly Ai
One single person
Carrying a message
to another world
A message of invitation,
of belonging
to a league of worlds
in the wider universe.

Persecuted
to the point of death
by a mad King,
by rival factions,
and political intrigue

Sought out and saved
by one single person
at first skeptical and enigmatic
the honourable Estraven,
whose life was forfeit
for this crime of treason,
but not in vain.

Estraven set in motion
the events by which Ai would succeed.
One man accomplished
What an army could never have done.
