Whisper Iron Wind has been busy since removing himself from the affairs of the world. His previous interest with the Wyld has deepend into an obsession, balanced only by his sense of duty to the expansive domain he rules. He has been distracted by many side projects (including sidereal learning methods and the true history of creation), he is inevitably brought back to those two constant interests. Wind periodically shares research with the Pheonix. Each disagrees with the other's actions, but they view that difference as far more academic than practical matters like proper essence stream calibration to minimize third harmonics in divergent reality actualizations. He is similarly interested in Sagacious Maiden of Rose's work, but has less overlapping expertise. Continuing fatherly feelings towards Ebon Jade Duskchild have prompted him to offer her useful advice on many occasions, for which she feels grateful but not indebted. He has no time for Glorious Wren, who he sees as an uncultured barbarian.
