and behold , it came to pass on an autumn day that there came one who was not of our kind to holy palandor , and , as all creatures should , he knelt before me in my holy temple and besought me to listen unto him , and , because i am most kindly and gentle , as it befits a god such as me to be , i granted his wish , and he spake unto me , saying this : `` we have heard of thee in our distant home at the center of the land of dhrall , holy azakan , '' spake he , and a peculiar glottal sound came from his mouth as he said my name , but , gentle and kindly that i am , i did not chastise him for his error .
