	The tale of [[Good Walder]] is one that many folk who follow the path of prosperity know well. Bane of the miser, scourge of those who can but won't, open-handed and great-hearted, the bedrock of the virtue of [[Prosperity]], and to those few who venerate him the foundation of the most worthwhile parts of the Empire. But it's not a name that is often spoken of, unless you're one of the enthusiasts that strives to emulate the [[Paragons and exemplars#Exemplars\|paragon]]. But paragon Walder is one of the oldest legends of [[the Way]]: his lessons were taught in [[the Marches]] and his stories told in [[Wintermark]] from long before there was an Empire. Today his lessons are preached in [[Highguard]], and his warnings about the value of good hospitality appreciated as far afield as [[Varushka]] and [[the Brass Coast]].

	But just recently there has been a strange rumour - that Good Walder - or his ghost perhaps - or maybe just someone very like his ghost - walked into the Marcher camp at Anvil and bold as brass asked for someone to come and do Walder's work. It can't actually have been Good Walder - that's not possible - the whole point of being a paragon is that you pass on to who knows where never to return. But someone - Tom of Somewhere - was doing Walders work perhaps. There ~~has been no clarity on~~ the ~~matter~~ from the ~~Marcher Assembly~~ so of course now there are rumours flying about it.

			<quote by="Marcher Assembly, Martin Orchard, Spring Equinox 382YE, Upheld 80 - 0, Greater Majority">The Marcher Assembly requests 15 mana and 5 Dragonbone from the Sevenfold Path vaults, to pursue Good Walder’s inspiration of rewarding the deserving. You may view this true spiritual inspiration in the spontaneous true aura upon Bastard Tom of Stoke.</quote>

			...and so of course now there are rumours flying about it ''everywhere''.

	It is the nature of rumours that they further they spread, the more they grow. So now in half a dozen places across [[Mitwold]] and [[Upwold]], and the odd place in [[Bregasland]], and even a couple of pubs in the [[Mournwold\|Mourn]] - they're reminding all and sundry who came past of their village's part in Walder's story. Half a dozen ancient Marcher apple trees on half a dozen lonely hills have been festooned with ribbons, as their [[congregation]] decides that this or that local legend means that this is the grave of Good Walder. Nothing unusual, and nothing un-Prosperous, about any of this.		It is the nature of rumours that they further they spread, the more they grow.
