![[IMAGE_ELMINSTER.png]] - **Race/Class:** Human Archmage of [[Shadowdale]], called the "Sage of [[Shadowdale]]" - **Born**: 212 DR - **Status**: (*Currently Alive*) - **Alignment:** Unknown - **Notes:** One of [[Mystra]] Chosen, immortal, has lived for centuries guiding events across [[Faerûn]]. Wise, eccentric, mischievous, and meddling; both revered and resented for constant interference in mortal and divine affairs. He is the "Protector of [[The Weave]]", advisor to heroes, and a living reminder of Mystra’s will on [[Toril]]. [[Olivia Halcrest]] was a brief assistant to him during a visit to [[Candlekeep]] in her youth while she had lived in the library fortress. [[Dio Eldwynair]] never met Elminster, but grew up respecting him through Olivia’s stories, knowing she had once served briefly as his assistant in Candlekeep, and that the red hat she later wore, and which he now bears, was a quiet reminder of a time when she stood in the presence of legends.
