Will Parker had many questions that could not be naswered about the Tripods.Until a vagrant named Ozymandias came.(A vagrant is someone whos' mind didnt work for the caps-either because of freign lang. or just dumb).But he wasnt really a vagrant he told Will abou the White Mountains and how to get there.
