Which keeper are you?
You are Malik, the smith
You fix things. You have kept a tractor alive through two civil wars with your own hands and a forge. Nothing annoys you more than being told not to touch something that is broken.
In Malik’s words
“A thing you are not allowed to mend is not yours”
Songs of Dust and Water, chapter 2, p. 16
Malik is the blacksmith of Madina in Part One. He first appears in chapter 2.
The other keepers
