Valon Savant

Once upon a time, an educated sage escorted a treasure of arcane tomes through wildlands, accompanied by a group of guards. One guard was interested in natural sciences but had to choose a career of foot warrior because he could not afford expensive university education. He sacrificed payment for his guarding services and asked the sage to give him a lesson about natural laws. Educated traveler was delighted by an opportunity of intellectual dispute and provided much more than a single lesson. During one lesson he used guard's flail as an ad-hoc representation for pendulum. This lesson was interrupted by an ambush. Guards were outnumbered and unable to keep the sage entirely out of combat, so his lesson with the flail continued with newcoming audience. Attack was successfully repelled and the image of a sage with a flail became a popular metaphor about practical applicability of theoretical knowledge.
