Firstmage Arnure

Firstmage Arnure is a High Elf and one the last remaining Firstmages present on the first floor of the Aetherian Archive after the Celestial Mage came to their tower. She and Firstmages Anirwen and Earil are the only ones in their order who value their lives over their magic. She can tell you about the Archive.

DialogueEdit

"So many distractions of late. The Learned One does not wish to be disturbed. You would do well to stay away from the upper floors."

Tell me about the Aetherian Archive.

"Isn't it magnificent? We Firstmages occupied it years and years ago. It was here that we found the Great Source during the First Era."

The First Era? How old are you?

"The source of our magic also granted us long life. The Learned One destroyed it when she arrived, and we know not why, but I don't despair as I would have in the past.
For the Learned One is magic incarnate, greater, even, than the Grand Source."

That sounds questionable.

"You are a cynic, like our Orc visitor. She called us drunks, absurdists, maniacs. Believe what you will. Our tower speaks for itself.
Why else would the Learned One come here, of all places in Craglorn, seeking our aid, but for our glorious Source?"

What's on the upper floors?/You mentioned the upper floors. What's so dangerous about them?

"We three in this chamber are the only Firstmages who value our lives over our magic.
Anirwen and Earil are too ashamed to admit it, but I have seen them weep in the night to the sound of the Learned One's work on the upper floors."

What about the other Firstmages?

"Upstairs, worshipping the Learned One more fervently than the Imperials do the Divines. I cannot blame them, though I cannot bring myself to follow.
The Learned One ravages the upper floors daily. Not all of her worshippers make it out alive."

Who is the Learned One?

"She is magic incarnate. The Great Source paled in the face of her power, and in her presence, it shattered.
It was the greatest day of our lives. The Learned One has worked magic within these walls like no spell that has ever been achieved before."
