Lore-Keeper Thalen

Title: Guardian of the Emerald Star-Charts
Role: Thalen is an ancient elf who spends his nights on the highest platforms of Wyn_Dor, studying the stars. He believes that the movements of the celestial bodies can predict the return of the First Brood. He is a man of vast knowledge and even greater eccentricity, often speaking in riddles and metaphors.

Secret Motivation: Thalen has discovered a "Star-Chart" that shows the location of Xylira’s physical body, which is hidden in a pocket dimension beneath the Heart-Tree. He is terrified of this knowledge and has been trying to "erase" himself from history using a powerful memory-wipe spell. He needs someone to take the Star-Chart and keep it safe before he forgets everything.

Adventure Hook: Thalen is found unconscious in his observatory, with his memory-wipe spell only half-finished. The party must find a way to restore his memory or decipher the Star-Chart before Nimue’s spies find it.
