Peg Elsen

Peg Elsen is a True Harmony monk who lives in Mountain City, Honba. He was born in the year 1001 in rural southwestern Honba in a time when the country was much poorer and more rural. His parents were peasant farmers.

Peg had to work hard from a very young age, and in order to deal with the toil he would spend time pondering how his actions would echo into the future, and how future generations would live better than he did, and would teach himself not to focus on his aching and tired body.

Peg says that the human species (and all life in Ourvo) is a system of symbolic exchanges with a "meta-consciousness" and he believes that when a person dies they meld into this meta-consciousness.
