Under darkest skies,

I once hunted for a sign,

Seeking the pale starlight.

Once, I was a loyal knight,

Humble pilgrim, in the dark.

Once, I was struck down,

Cast aside, thought a traitor

Hated by my lord on high.

Yet, on the final dawn,

Swimming in searing light,

I was choosen, remembered

As a warrior of light.

And now, I've felt love

And basked in the moonlight,

And throught silent seas,

I silently hunt for the sign

And I've found greater lords on high.

Yes, it is Demoux. Your turn, Stormgate.

I was kinda hoping it would take more than a week to solve, like my Lirin boast back at the now deseased Bewulf Boast thread.

Anyway, explanations in bold.

Under darkest skies,

I once hunted for a sign,

Seeking the pale starlight.

This is about the opression of the Final Empire, and Kelsier's promise of a new world, with green leaves and a starlit sky.

Once, I was a loyal knight,

Humble pilgrim, in the dark.

Demoux became a respected member of the Church of the Survivor and climbed the hierarchy of the new government's army at prodigious speed.

Once, I was struck down,

Cast aside, thought a traitor

Hated by my lord on high.

He was one of those soldiers who were wounded the most by the mist sickness and took longer to recover. Some took that as a sign that Kelsier, worshiped as Lord of the Mists, was displeased with them, and he struggled with his faith.

Yet, on the final dawn,

Swimming in searing light,

I was choosen, remembered

As a warrior of light.

The reason for his sickness was that he was "choosen" as a seer, and on the final battle against the forces of Ruin he and his companions managed to keep the Atium out of his reach.

And now, I've felt love

And basked in the moonlight,

These two are tricky. Few remember his terriswoman girlfriend, and even fewer read the WoB confirming she is a worldhopper. Also, Scadrial has no moon, but Roshar, where Demoux was last seem, has three of them.

And throught silent seas,

I silently hunt for the sign

Not much to explain here. It is just his hunt for Hoid in the purelake.

And I've found greater lords on high.

Being a worldhopper, he probably knows gods more powerful or ancient than Kelsier. Of course, as far as we know he may still worship him, but that is besides the point.

I search for that which is long since forgotten

My name is lost to all but a few.

I learned my trade in a distant land,

I speak stories that bring questions unanswered.

I am found where none expect me to be,

When people search me, I am never found.

Questions asked of me rarely find answers,

Though the questions I ask I answer myself.

I practice arts of varied lands,

And ne'r follow another's commands.
