Background
Kasha refused to believe in the Travelers and the territories, and thus accused the Travelers of changing her father from a clever klee to a dreamy one that was obsessed with "imaginary" concepts. Her attitude changed when she, Bobby, and Yorn, believed to be Seegen's acolyte, but in fact Saint Dane in disguise, traveled to Black Water, a sanctuary for gars. She discovered what a monster Saint Dane could be when she witnessed her old friend Yorn transform into the arrogant figure of Saint Dane, who had also killed her father with a poisoned apple. She then accepted her duty as a Traveler. Unfortunately, she perished on Zadaa. Mark and Courtney, as acolytes, were not supposed to use the flumes, but they had anyway, eventually weakening Eelong's flume until it collapsed on their departure. Bobby dragged her to Zadaa to save her from the collapse, and a falling rock hit her on the head, leading to her death. Loor cremated her and Bobby vowed to spread her ashes at her father's favorite spot on Eelong.

“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”

“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
