To hear Constantine tell it, Aeric is old, powerful, wise, and capable of magic far beyond anything the we've seen, the sort of magician who once summoned a black draconic spirit with casual confidence. Yet despite Constantine’s giddy admiration, the details he shares only raise more questions. Aeric was sent to the remote hamlet of [[Lich-Halt]] years ago to “master his magic,” though no one knows whether that was an honor, a burden, or a quiet exile. He rules the hamlet with authority inherited from a cadet branch of [[House Valebright]], but nothing is known of his wider influence or reach. Constantine quotes him often, repeating odd sayings like “the shadowflea bites” without explanation, as if they are profound lessons rather than nonsense. We've never met Aeric, but we understand one thing clearly: the man casts a long shadow over Constantine’s life, shaping his loyalty, his training, and perhaps the strange changes happening within him. Whether Aeric is protector, teacher, or something more complicated remains unknown, but his name lives in Constantine’s voice like a beacon that refuses to dim. #### QUESTIONS FOR THE FUTURE - How his influence may overlap or contrast with [[House Valebright]], and [[Marcel Voltaire]]'s protection over them - Where is he now? Why does the [[Cult of the Dragon]] have him and where?
