If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
I hope those pebbles may benefit Shalharra but I have so much more to learn and to discover. Maybe someday, I will be able to wander into the ocean of truth. Someday, her creation may more fully be understood.
Until then, I continue to research and attempt to discover everything that she has made. I've been doing that for a while. Since I was a young boy, I've always been asking why. For a while, my parents were able to explain everything. Unfortunately, they ran out of answers and told me to look at school. Then I asked my school teachers. However, they lacked all the answers as well. From there, I went to priests to look for answers but they only knew about Shalharra and could only somewhat explain her creation. Libraries became my next targets and while they helped for a while, they could still only provide so much.
Since everyone around me still didn't have all the answers, I turned to Shalharra. She gave strange answers. Some even seemed to contradict what the priests have told me. However, she also told me that to understand her creation, I would have to discover more on my own. So I've applied myself to going into the university and then discovering more about the world around me.
Unfortunately, there was much chaos in the succession to the new Vicar so I left for Onderon. There, they had much use for my talents and I was able to learn even more about how Shalharra worked through various experiments. Unfortunately, despite all the preparation, the Republic had the resources to drive Onderon into the ground despite the casualties we inflicted upon them.
I went into the shadows working at chemical factories as they still had a use for my expertise. From there, I still tried to spread the word of Shalharra as well as learn more about her creation. The chemical factory also provided some tools for restoring the world as it should be.
