Bio:

Wise, thoughtful, sharp-witted... with a penchant for tripping over his words while speaking. Alcor keeps his eyes on the stars, sometimes forgetting to take care of himself or eat. His fellow stargazers remind him from time to time to take a break, rest, and eat.

He feels there is always so much to learn, see, and record about the vastness around them. The Arcanist visits stars and systems based on their observations, bringing back trinkets and interesting samples.

The scientists take a look at them, study them, determine what, if any, magical properties they may have. All while Alcor and his friends continue keeping a watch on the stars.

Previous Assignment:



The Arcanist returned from another of his expeditions to the stars, guided by information recorded and studied by the stargazers. Interesting points of light, flickering and swirling slowly, caught their eyes around the particular star he visited. The phenomenon made them wonder if perhaps some type of light creatures existed there and off the Arcanist went to see...

The bauble he brought back was curious, something they've never seen before. It shined with an inner light that lit nothing of the surroundings. The inner light shifted colors at an almost imperceptible rate, going through many colors within the blink of an eye. There was almost a sense of some type of intelligence to the bauble...

After it was brought to the Observatory, strange things began to happen. The Arcanist himself was found turned into an object one morning, to the alarm and panic of the population. Reports trickled in of the same incident occuring with the other deities. Dragons and flights were left without a leader.

Not only that but the already-strange goings-on of the Starfall Isles became even stranger. Alcor found strange lights dancing in the skies, making it impossible to see the stars. Dragons who looked too long at the lights began to act strange, listing in circles or muttering nonsense. Islands began to crash together, forming one jagged, large island, or they floated upside-down, sideways, wobbled...

There was nothing to do but wait as the flights worked together to turn the deities back to their normal, powerful selves, and hope that perhaps they would figure out what was going on. Dragons hard at work managed to slowly shift them back to normal and yet the Arcanist and the Isles continued to suffer stranger and stranger events.

Alcor could not help but notice, wandering the Observatory looking for any clue or item to help, that the new object seemed almost... amused. The intelligence he thought it had, the amusement... could it possibly be that this thing, brought here before the events started occuring, be responsible for all of it?

The idea was put forward to those of the Isles and the decision was made to launch the item back into space, hoping that perhaps with it gone things might return to the version of normal they had known their entire lives...

Repentance:

A new policy was implemented when the Arcanist regained his form. No longer was he allowed to bring items home unless he fully checked them away from Sornieth. There had been more than enough incidents of him bringing back something that turned out to be dangerous...

Alcor isn't sure how well the Arcanist will follow the new policy, he had a habit of ignoring the potential dangers of something if it meant that something could be learned. Those around the Observatory would be keeping a wary eye on his actions and what he brings back home with him, however, just in case...
