The great Library of Helvirae holds a great many tomes, and some of the most dangerous are stored in its protected Stormwind Galleries. These are under the tender care of Second Librarian Pirabeth, a straight-laced and formidable woman with considerable arcane powers.
In her adventuring days, Pirabeth was an abjuration wizard, and gained rather a talent in manipulating and controlling wards. She was allowed access to the Library's restricted books, and discovered that the storage and filing system had allowed many to become damaged or stolen, loosing a great many dangers into the world. At great cost, she was able to recapture or restrain many of them, and immediately took over revolutionizing the Library's practices herself. In the past twenty years, she has wrought great change in the Library itself and especialy in containing dangerous tomes of knowledge, to the degree that other practitioners of the arcane arts would often rather their secrets be stored within the Stormwind Galleries than in their own somewhat dubious containments. How you can use Second Librarian Pirabeth in your games: - Pirabeth needs assistants, sometimes in maintaining wards and sometimes in venturing out to recapture, contain, or secure finds for the Galleries. These battered and experienced 'Assistants' are well-respected in the Library, and paid a decent wage for their dangerous work. - Bringing some new arcane secret, bound daemon, or mystery to Second Librarian Pirabeth is a good way to earn her attention, whether you want it or not. Her knowledge of the arcane arts is deep and wide, and although her adventuring days are long behind her, she is no slouch when it comes to contesting her Art against opponents. - If Second Librarian Pirabeth vanishes or falls in battle, it is likely that she will have left some kind of instructions on what wards need to be maintained soon, and how to find a new Second Librarian. But discovering what has happened to her might only be the first step! Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 2 July 2021. Comments are closed.
