St. Cloudlight the Sensible

St. Cloudlight* the sensible was a figure who helped with the renewal of the Bright Way after the War of Dissolution. Not much is known of his private life, though he was famous for being a man of some girth, giving rise to quite a few jokes, some of which are thought to have come from his own mouth as a form of humble self deprecation.

“I would have liked to become a steadtree hermit,” he once said, “were it not that I would have broken whatever branch I perched upon.”

a great many quotations have been attributed to him, some real, some not.

“What healer does not abide among the sick?” being the most well known. It's an admonition against preaching to the choir.
