MEET THE KEEPER: RELLIAN OF THE THRESHOLD

Before you ever see the Lord of this city, you must first meet the Keeper of his door. Rellian is an elf of timeless age, his face serene but his eyes sharp, discerning, and unyielding. He has stood guard at this door for centuries, and his purpose is absolute: to protect his master's focus. He does not see visitors; he sees interruptions. His judgment is final.

LORE & SECRETS

The Sanctum is the true center of the Alliance's intelligence. It is here that Lord Elowen scries the enemy's movements, studies ancient texts like the Emberfell Codex for weaknesses in the Shadowstorm , and coordinates with commanders across the continent. The library contains thousands of books and scrolls, an intricate orrery of brass and silver, and even Lord Elowen's personal familiar, a tiny dragon named Finnegan.

Key Tip: Access is by invitation only. If you are a common traveler, Rellian will turn you away. Only those bearing a seal of high office (such as from a Vanguard Captain in Hammerdeep or an Elven Commander) will be granted passage. Do not attempt to sneak in; the wards are older than your bloodline.

WELCOME TO THE VERY HEART OF WISDOM

You stand at the threshold of the largest tree tower in Luminara, the sanctum of Lord Elowen himself. This is no public library. This is the repository of a thousand ages, a place of profound, scholarly silence where the fate of Mythra is debated and prophecies are deciphered. The air hums with contained power, smelling of ancient parchment, drying herbs, and the faint, clean scent of ozone. Access is a privilege, not a right, for the knowledge within is the foundation of our very world

"YOU SEEK AN AUDIENCE? LORD ELOWEN ATTENDS TO MATTERS THAT SHAPE THE FATE OF WORLDS. STATE YOUR BUSINESS, AND I SHALL JUDGE IF IT IS WORTHY OF HIS BREATH. DO NOT WASTE MY TIME, OR YOURS."
