-'''Timaias Adama, Sage of the Endless Sword, is also called The Sword Sage.''' He is a backstory character of some importance to the entire Cradle series, and especially to [[Yerin Arelius]]. The most information about the Sage is found in book 1, [[Unsouled]] and in book 8, [[Wintersteel]], in the prologue. There is a little more info about him in book 10, [[Reaper]]. See also [[Path of the Endless Sword]]
+'''Timaias Adama''' was the '''Sage of the Endless Sword, also called the Sword Sage.''' He was Yerin's master, and died in the background sometime during [[Unsouled]]. See also [[Path of the Endless Sword]].
-==Yerin’s Master==
+Adama was [[Yerin]]'s master until he was murdered when she was about 16 or 17. [[Yerin]]'s family was slaughtered when [[The Bleeding Phoenix|the Bleeding Phoenix]] flew over her town, followed by [[Blood Shadow|Blood Shadows]] that killed most of the town, including her family, before the Sage was able to arrive to dispatch the shadows. Impressed by the willpower she showed in resisting the blood shadow and preventing it from consuming her, he adopted her as his disciple and trained her the [[Path of the Endless Sword]], also sealing her blood shadow so that she could get strong enough to fight it on her own.
-The '''Sage of the Endless Sword''' was Yerin’s beloved master until he was murdered when she was about 16 or 17 years old (Unsouled).  He adopted her and taught her the [[Path of the Endless Sword]]. He rescued her in childhood, directly after her entire world stopped when the [[Dreadgod]] Bleeding Phoenix passed over her village, pursued by murderous acolytes from Redmoon Hall, its [[Dreadgod cult]].
-<br>The Sword Sage was elite, highly respected and skilled, and yet a kind and wise master. He loved young [[Yerin]], even though it wasn’t his way to be flowery or expressive about it. He gave her a steelborn Iron body when she was younger. He died trying to find information about how to remove a Blood Shadow from her without harming her spirit.
+The Sword Sage was elite, highly respected and skilled, and yet a kind and wise master. He loved young [[Yerin]], even though it wasn’t his way to be flowery or expressive about it. He helped her forge a Steelborn Iron body when she was younger. He died trying to find information about how to remove a Blood Shadow from her without harming her spirit. From the first time [[Eithan Arelius]] sees heartbroken [[Yerin]] in book 2, his internal opinions of her deceased master are always high. He wants to do well by the man, and continue the good work the Sage began. He adopts her and continues her training, and helps her understand her Blood Shadow, who becomes known as Ruby.

 ==His Death==
-The Sage went into the [[Labyrinth]] in [[Sacred Valley]], well-supplied with background information on Subject One, a researcher who became the first [[Dreadgod]]. He wanted to find out how to remove Yerin’s Blood Shadow without harming her spirit. He entered the labyrinth through the immense Ancestor’s Tomb, high on the slopes of Mount Samara, near Heaven’s Glory School. He’d been there for three months, the suppression field weakening his power daily until he was no stronger than a Jade. But he’s weaker than he knows. In the flashback in [[Wintersteel]], Adama admits to Yerin that he is willingly ingesting poison from Heaven's Glory school, who had offered him housing, because he believed that anything they could make would have no effect on a Sage.

 ==His Remnant==
 After he died, the murderers tried to take his Remnant. [[Yerin]] hated them and didn’t want them to defile her master’s last remains. Whilst [[Wei Shi Lindon]], not even a Copper yet, successfully battled and killed a Jade, she battled the Remnant and won. Then the Remnant became her goldsign swords, brimming with sword aura. See [[Unsouled]].
 <br>For over a year, Yerin tried to listen for her master within the Remnant. She expected it to still guide her on her Path. Finally she had to accept that her beloved master was truly gone. The Remnant was not the man. (See Blackflame, book 3)
