Asheloux
- Wildwood
- Arrogant
- Clearly knows nothing of Duskwights
- Also clearly cares little for amicable first impressions
- Appearance
- Fair skinned
- long, dark and light hair
- One eye is abnormal, almost like icy glass
- wears shaded glasses, even at night; likely due to his 'sight'
- Also wears well-tailored clothing; likely well off
- Met when he was taking notes on the ruins about Bronze Lake.
- I can tell he has a sufficiently strong Aetherical presence.
- Not named 'Very Interesting' despite his reply to my question after his own~
- Also thought I was serious when I made mention of it
- Either assumes severely low intelligence of me, seeks to be demeaning, or has no concept of jest. Likely all of them.
- Studied me upon seeing me
- apparently saw something of interest
- circled me speaking to himself
- "You look more like the aetheryte crystal over yonder rather than a dirty cave dweller."
- "Tell me, what kind of fool wanders around with this much Aether on their person. It's rather astounding, really. You'll make a man like myself go blind with it all in one place."Â
- Can apparently see Aether
- I have half the mind to cause it to increase just to bother him~ Though that is hardly 'diplomatic' of me, I suppose.
- I asked if it were a skill or by design, considering his eyewear.
- removed the spectacles of sorts to show his unaligned unmatching eyes. (The former thought is rather amusing though~)
- "Unfortunately for you, this is not something you can easily replicate as I do not know what exactly caused it, aside from my own carelessness I'm afraid."Â
- Apparently it was a mistake, or unintentional.
- Says it's useful for his studies.
- He insulted Vathen.
- called him a lowly pack mule
- Asheloux doesn't carry his own materials with him, apparently~
- Or is just that illogical and inefficiant to not request assistance~
- I said as much.Â
- Also noted 'ease' has little to do with what can be done
- And that him knowing what happened would be useful, but not necessary.
- I think I offended him~
- "You may work alone, but I have a score of researchers under me and a team of body guards behind them. As long as you rule them with an iron fist and the noose of detailed instructions, little mishaps have happened. Anyone who does not follow my instruction and still lives to tell about it is simply replaced."Â
- That sounds dreadful. Â Impressive, but dreadful.
- I wonder if he restricts their learning and experimentation by only exactly what is approved by him.
- He also seemed proud of this.. self-proclamated law.
- Asheloux's studies
- Various magics
- "Everything from what was, is, and could be."
- Thinks interest in Aether is natural.
- Offer made
- "As you seem interested in it yourself by the look of your load, I'll let you take a gander as to what it was I was studying that very day."
- Likely could see what was in the various packs I had, due to their Aetherical potency.
- I mentioned his description of rule sounded dreadful
- he thought I believed that he killed his own researchers.
- ... And explained that he didn't.
- "I watch them kill themselves and if they fail, then I let them go. I don't allow sloppy work in my order."Â
- Despite his previous offer to show me what he was working on, he restated he wasn't actually inclined to.
- especially one with my "particular background".
- Mentioned if we met under more favorable circumstances he may share
- For a Trade of Knowledge
- I offered that he tell me what kind of knowledge he was after, or let me choose something myself.
- Guess what he picked between chance or decree~?
- "If next we meet, I expect to know more about the strange flows around you and why I feel like I've been to bloody Coerthas and back."Â
- "Maybe then I will gift you with what I was studying, and what I know about this accursed eye I was gifted with soon after."
