A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter II
"Once they held all this. Then they warred and killed, until but a handful lay in cover to lick their wounds and wait. It has been many threes of seasons since they left that cover. But now they come again--to loot their place of secrets--Perhaps in the time past they have forgotten much so that now they must renew their knowledge." Dalgard stowed the bow in the bottom of the outrigger.
