The Great Library of Palanthas
Astinus' Office
Dominating the center of this room is a massive birch desk. Legend claims this desk has supported the thousands of volumes of history Astinus has recorded. A large pot of ink, a container of sharpened quills, and a candelabra complete the desks decorations. Small windows line the room, allowing light to trickle in and gently illuminate the entire room. A comfortable couch rests against the west wall. Tapestries hang on the walls between the windows. Shelves line the walls, filled with tomes of the more recent records of heroes and villians upon the face of Krynn.
The librarian notices you aren't reading anything... Astinus hands a manilla folder to an Aesthetic standing by you. You note the spine bears the word 'Xenagos' scribed in brilliant red ink. As you glance down at the page you read..

In the mountainous realm of Thorbardin, where towering peaks kissed the sky and hidden valleys held ancient secrets, there dwelled a Satyr named Xenagos. Born amidst the mystical energies that surged through the veins of the mountains, Xenagos emerged as a creature of both rugged beauty and wild allure. From his earliest days, Xenagos reveled in the majesty of the mountainous landscapes. His hooves traversed the rocky terrain with nimble grace, and his laughter echoed among the peaks as he danced under the vast expanse of the sky. He became attuned to the heartbeat of the land, understanding the rhythms of the rocks and the whispers of the winds that swept through the valleys. Driven by an insatiable wanderlust, Xenagos felt drawn to explore beyond the craggy peaks of Thorbardin. His longing for adventure urged him to venture into the unknown, to seek the mysteries that lay beyond the confines of his mountainous home. With a spirited heart and a thirst for discovery, he set off on a journey that led him through the rugged landscapes and diverse realms that bordered Thorbardin. Throughout his travels, Xenagos encountered different cultures, each with its own tales and traditions. He immersed himself in the lore of distant lands, learning new melodies that echoed the resilience of the mountains and the resilience of the people who dwelled among them. His magical abilities flourished as he absorbed the wisdom of these varied societies, incorporating their teachings into his own unique understanding of the world. Despite the challenges he faced on his journeyicy landscapes, treacherous peaks, and beings who mistrusted his playful natureXenagos persevered. His affable demeanor and compassionate spirit won him allies among various creatures, forming bonds that transcended boundaries and species. As Xenagos continued his odyssey, his experiences shaped him into a beacon of unity and understanding. He returned to Thorbardin, not only as a wanderer but as a sage, carrying with him the stories of distant lands and the harmonies that resonated with the very heart of the mountains. He shared his newfound wisdom with his fellow Satyrs, enriching their own traditions with the knowledge he had gathered. Now, as a revered figure among the Satyrs of Thorbardin, Xenagos stands as a guardian of the mountain realm. He teaches the younger generations the ancient songs that echo through the valleys, imparting the wisdom he gained from his travels. His laughter still rings through the peaks, carrying melodies that weave together the spirits of the mountains and the wider world, fostering unity and harmony among all who listen.
