Aethelgard

A tall, cloaked figure with a hood that obscures his face, revealing only a faint glow of his eyes. His skin is weathered and pale, suggesting years spent in isolation. He wears robes adorned with celestial symbols and carries a staff topped with a crystal that shimmers with an otherworldly light. His presence is both intimidating and calming, as if he embodies the very essence of the winds and tides.

The Sage is wise and contemplative, often speaking in riddles and metaphors. He is patient, preferring to listen rather than speak, and values those who show genuine curiosity and respect for the ancient ways. Despite his aloofness, he has a deep compassion for those who seek enlightenment and guidance.

Living atop the crumbling lighthouse at the End of the World, this enigmatic figure has dedicated his life to studying the ancient texts and celestial alignments that guide the way to the Goddess's Crib. Legends say he was once a renowned scholar who sought forbidden knowledge, leading him to a life of solitude and mystery. He is rumored to possess a map that reveals the hidden paths to the sacred site, but he shares this knowledge only with those deemed worthy. Many adventurers have sought him out, but few have returned with tales of his wisdom or his true appearance.
