Forge of Darkness/Prelude

__NOTOC__
==A tale being told==
The prelude acts as a framing device for the rest of the story. It begins with one poet dissembling to another about truth, memory, and the nature of poetry. The poet with the story to tell is revealed to be Blind Gallan as he is about to recount the tale of Anomandaris to Fisher kel Tath, who has sought him out. Gallan says, though, that "It is not Anomander's tale alone."
