Lady Janshali is a competent and well-renowned member of the local Mages’ Council. She is skilled in her applications and research of magic, and known for championing ‘new’ magics, and research into things that have been forbidden by the Council. She often challenges their authority, deriding them as “a bunch of ivory-tower academics” who fail to question the accepted way of doing things. She has set her sights on being no less than the Court Mage, and works relentlessly for both the advancement of magical theory and practice, and her own renown. Physical: Lady Janshali wears up-to date and practical fashion, with accommodations for her occupation. She enjoys being seen to be involved in society, and attends both Court and social events to make connections. In person, she can come across abruptly at times, but will rapidly warm up to someone with something interesting to think about- whether magical theory, history, or social discussion. She has little patience for those who do not have intelligent things to say, or who underestimate her. She has long auburn hair, usually done in whatever style is fashionable at the time. Complications/Hooks: * Lady Janshali would be an excellent choice of mentor for a PC. Although still young, she has several apprentices, and favours sending them out for ‘real education’ rather than just learning from books. * The PCs are hired by Lady Janshali as backup, in case her investigation goes wrong. Though she is delving into Forbidden Knowledge, she is not careless about the outcomes if it goes wrong, and wants hard-hitting experts there if it does. Predictably, something will go wrong. * Adventurers hired by Lady Janshali clash with the PCs during a mission for another member of the Mages’ Council. She might turn up in person and try to persuade them to side with her against their original employer. Statistics: Lady Janshali is physically competent and in good health, but is famous for her mind. She has a keen intellect and social consciousness, with exceptionally high Intelligence, and good Wisdom and Charisma scores. As a member of the Mages’ Council, she is a 10th-level Wizard, and is looking to advance as a Loremaster before turning to the path of Archmage. She is in a position to reward PCs who assist her in this venture. (Originally posted on Game Masters Stash on 9 March 2018) Categories All Comments are closed.
