A New Generation of Sages

The Esoterist raised an eyebrow. "That's the guy leading the Kandrian team to analyze the alien aircraft and the captured entity. He's definitely intelligent and a polyscholar in multiple disciplines, but…"

The Esoterist shrugged. "I don't think he's worthy of sagehood."

The Beggar Sage stroked his long flowing beard. "Julian Quarrier. A foster brother of the Dawnbringer. Displayed prodigious growth with very early signs of genius-level intellect. His talent is not lacking, but…"

The Beggar Sage shook his head.

"He's all over the place."

Immortal sages were not generalists; they focused their efforts on one field, no matter how broad and vast it was.
