Inward

"Inward" was the pen name of a mage from the mother kingdom who anonymously wrote a theory that the gods created lower creatures than humans and other modern animals and let them vie for supremacy of the physical universe. The notion was condemned as heretical by most mages, and many threats were made against "Inward," which is why he went to lengths to keep his identity secret.

Inward is based on British naturalist Charles Darwin, famous for his Theory of Evolution. The word "Inward" is an anagram of the name "Darwin."
