Expert in divination magic, formerly a scholar at the [[Clifftop Observatory]] before the [[Astral Conclave]] was destroyed in a cataclysmic dragon battle. Founded the academy to honor his fallen mentors and create a sanctuary for aspiring mages. %% ## Now Running [[Starwarden Academy]] in [[Neverwinter]], teaching aspiring mages. ## Appearance Diminutive even for a gnome, with a wild mane of gravity-defying silver-white hair and deep blue eyes; star-patterned robes dusted with pastry crumbs, his rescued owl Luna perched nearby. ## Personality Nurturing and invested in his students' growth.
