![[janussi.jpg]] # Janussi _Human Archmage | Keeper of Tomes | [[Candlekeep]]_ ## Summary [[Candlekeep]]'s Keeper of Tomes since 1456 DR—highest authority of the great library-fortress and devoted follower of [[Deneir]]. Helped the party access the [[7th Volume of Iggwilv's Demonomicon]] alongside [[Sylvira Savikas]], providing crucial knowledge to combat [[Tharizdun]]. Suggested they might reverse-engineer [[Iggwilv]]'s spell to destroy the [[Shard of Evil]]. %% ## At a Glance Fierce golden eyes beneath a mane of silvery-white hair and beard, looking decades younger than his hundred years. Flowing white silk robes trimmed in gold, matching jewelry, and the traditional [[Staff of the Magi]] passed down through Keepers. A twinkle in his eye suggests both wisdom and mischief. Loves learning, stories, art, and a good drink. More approachable than previous Keepers, but the warmth masks considerable cunning. His word is law within [[Candlekeep]]. ## Personality Outgoing and genuinely curious about every visitor's tale. Speaks with gentle purpose, produces warm smiles at perfect moments. Generous with knowledge but shrewd about [[Candlekeep]]'s interests. ## Quote _"Knowledge shared is knowledge multiplied—but first, let's hear what tale you've brought to trade."_ ## Stats **Archmage** (MM 342), [[Staff of the Magi]], can activate [[Candlekeep]]'s mythal in crisis %%
