=="Whence comes the Fool and why?"==
According to his own words to Fitz, the Fool was born far, far to the south and of ordinary folk. His land is past the edges of every map [[Verity]] has ever seen, and past the edges of the maps in those countries. One must go south, and then east across a sea to find a long peninsula, and on its tip the village where he was born. He had a loving mother who had a long, dark curling hair and green eyes. He had two cousins as fathers, as was the custom of that place: one was broad and swarthy and full of laughter, ruddy-lipped and brown-eyed farmer who smelled of rich earth and open air. The other was as narrow as his cousin was wide, gold to his bronze . He had blue eyes and was a poet and songster. He also had a sister with Golden golden hairwho used to spoil him outrageously.
The Fool's colouring was different from the beginning, marking the fact that somewhere in the distant past a [[White]] had mingled his blood with an ordinary folk and that the baby was born to take up the tasks of that folk. That is why he was soon sent to a place where he was educated and all his dreams were recorded. When he was old enough, he was taught the art of the quill so he could record his dreams more precisely. One day he claimed to be the [[White Prophet]] of this age but his masters said it wasn't possible, for there can only be one White Prophet for each time, and that they had already prepared her and sent out to fulfill her destiny. They couldn't tell him what he was if he wasn't a White Prophet although he had all the traits of one, and he soon ran away.
