He tasked [[Dak]] with stopping [[Decima Iscitarn]] from obtaining the [[Nightmare's Fangs]]—artifacts connected to [[Dendar]] that could "open the gates of terror and unleash a plague of fear upon the waking world." %% ## At a Glance An ancient tortle with a deeply weathered shell bearing intricate natural patterns earned through centuries of life. Wise, aged eyes hold depths of knowledge. Moves slowly but deliberately, carrying a gnarled walking staff carved with protective symbols. ## Personality Patient and deliberate, with long pauses to consider his words. Uses analogies from nature, the ocean, and tides. Addresses others as "young one" with genuine affection. Sees connections between seemingly unrelated threats that others miss. ## Quote _"Like the tide, young one, wisdom comes to those who wait and observe the patterns beneath the surface."_ ## Stats **Monk** (MM 344) with enhanced Wisdom and divination abilities. %%
