Brother Ahamo
Brother Ahamo is a foundational author in the Sanctum-Ascension genre of Immaculate mysticism. Born blind and half-deaf in the ruthless foreign city of Apogee, Ahamo drew his Second Breath at age 20, unusually old. He was drawn by what he called "The Light One Cannot See" to a life of monasticism on the Blessed Isle and to abandon the apostasy of his youth.
Ahamo's most influential works are his Reflections, where he writes extensively on his personal experiences as outcast and outsider. He reflects at length about his personal connections to the Immaculate Dragons and Elemental Dragons, and the liberation he felt of being part of an ordered world. His works are deeply personal, revealing his own struggles with sexual desire, crises of faith, and other topics widely not commented-upon by monks and scholars.
His most mystical works are his reflections on Sanctum-Ascension. Deep in his meditations, Ahamo would receive visions and experiences he believed were from his soul ascending upward to approach the intangible Elemental Dragons in their sanctums. He cited that because he was blind, he could approach the Serpent Veil closer than other commentators, since his eyes would not burn away. His highest ascension was to lightly brush the Serpent Veil, which he claimed left his hand charred for the rest of his life with glorious fire.
