%% # Intro Archwizard [[Eldrick Runeweaver]] Allegiance: [[Amethyst Academy]], [[Academy Directorate]] Location: [[Emberwood Village]], [[Red Lion Hotel]] Associations: [[River]], (see other mages in [[Amethyst Academy]]) Companions: Iron Golem, Homonculus, [[Simulacrum]], Cat One of the finest professors in the [[Amethyst Academy]], [[Eldrick Runeweaver]] has personally instructed a generation of talented arcane spellcasters. He is the foremost living expert on Abjuration magic, but is also highly regarded within the Academy as a dedicated administrator and calculating leader. If [[Eldrick Runeweaver]] successfully retakes the [[Inscrutable Tower]], he will likely take up the vacant spot in the [[Academy Directorate]] and assume the mantle of Archmage of Drakkenheim. %% # Appearance [[Eldrick Runeweaver]] is a towering and broad-shouldered man in his mid-sixties. His amber eyes glow softly behind his circular glasses, and he has a square-cut, greying black beard. He wears nine rings of silver, gold, and electrum: one on each finger except his left thumb. He wears flowing purple garb with golden embroidery, and carries an obsidian staff tipped with a [[delerium]] crystal. %% # Characteristics **Personality Trait** I carefully calculate my every action, and I speak using a few well-chosen words. I’m a teacher at heart, so I often phrase my responses in the form of a pointed question. **Ideal** I will seek out more information whenever I encounter an unknown situation or problem. Through reason and logic, the facts always bear out the truth of the matter. **Bond** I hold a position of responsibility and authority within the [[Amethyst Academy]], and it is my duty to protect the Academy’s interests, carry out its agenda, and keep its many secrets. **Flaw** I care deeply for my students, but tend to overlook their faults and failures. I’ve had several wayward apprentices over the years, and I’ve often had to cover up their mistakes. [[Eldrick Runeweaver]] has a cat familiar, and travels with an [[iron golem]] bodyguard and a [[homunculus]] servant. He most often communicates via [[sending]], [[telepathic bond]], and [[project image]] spells, or by [[sending]] his [[simulacrum]] instead. Eldrick always has a [[contingency]] spell in place, and has a [[clone]] kept in a distant stronghold with extra equipment should the unthinkable occur. **Eldrick’s [[Simulacrum]]** This special [[simulacrum]] uses the game statistics for an Archmage. **Eldrick’s Spellbooks** Eldrick keeps many spellbooks in secret places, which contain every spell on the Wizard spell list <u>except</u> [[wish]] (knowledge of this spell is restricted to the [[Academy Directorate]]). %% # Image ![[Eldrick Runeweaver.png]] %% # Statblock %%
