The Mines of Gloragane

Urzekl stands silently over his frigid planet, contemplative on the eve of his ceremonial death. As the second greatest portal keeper on the planet, it is his responsibility to pass on the knowledge that he has gained over his long life. Ancient knowledge, passed down to him and enhanced by his years of careful study and strict adherence to tradition. A tradition he will uphold, even if it means his pre-mature death - and putting aside his own reservations of his skilled apprentice.
