Zeheir: Legwork Notes

Added to (Category: Zeheir) because they all seem related to Zeheir:

• Unwrought Souls (Part 2)
• Zaheir to the throne
• Finding Edgar

Yelrona begins her investigation into Zeheir and his towers searching for key subjects such as: Teleportation, Golems, and Towers. She contacts: The historians at the Temple of Navos, Arcanists, the Alexandrian Library, the Bardic Collage, the Artificers at the Artificers Hall & Old Clunk's Junkyard.

Very little information she didn't already know is found through the extensive research. This following is what she learned:

- Zeheir is a wizard who died a little over a thousand years ago, he lived for aproximately 150 years before his death. His field of research was largely in magical creatures and how to make them as well as golems.

- The Arcanists do note that Zehier made a (single) wizard tower back in his day, and it was well know for popping up wherever Zehier wanted it to be. (He did this using a fairly complex relocation spell) However nobody ever claimed that it could move through TIME.

- There is in fact a play about him. It talks about his great love for a woman Evaline, and how she died young to an ailment which no magic could cure. (Though Zehier tried) In the end Evaline dies and Zeheir is left alone for the last lonely parts of his life.

Morgan joins Yelrona's hunt having seen two of the towers herself, offering what information she happens to have on them.

• Zaheir to the throne

Yelrona prompted by the information gained by talking to Morgan decides to look into Edgar's family history, asking the Navosians in particular.

- Edgar's family is plain and normal as far back as can be traced however. Farmers and a few craftsmen, nobody of any note.

Meanwhile Arabella looks into Zehier's lady-love Evaline.

- Evaline was born a little over a thousand years ago, and died 28 years after her birth. She was married when she died. She is listed as being half-elvish in the census records, and her cause of death is listed as a 'incurable magical illness'. Records indicate that she was not a citizen of Alexandria for very long.

Rona investigated the bodies of the Oruch who attacked the Mythwood and used that information, along with the names and clans that the leader called out during the fight, to visit the tribes they came from, let them know what happened, and find out what she can. The bodies themselves turn out to be marked up much like the bodies in the Tower she blew up, with signs of torture. And marks that look like snowflakes.

So, thinking about this plot some more: another direction of approach.

Operating under the working theory that whoever this "mistress" is, she might have researched Zaheir's history at some point. So Rona will retrace her earlier research about Zaheir, only this time instead of asking about Zaheir himself she is asking about other people who were maybe researching him... specifically, who were doing so back before the golems and Edgar and whatnot brought him to the adventurers' attention.

Same goes for Evaline.

She's also gonna look into Zaheir and Evaline's families, see if they had any kids, or maybe nieces or nephews or something, anyone who might have had descendants who are still alive.
