• Location: The Aumbrie
• Occupation: Librarian / Secret Shopkeeper
• Look

This is a male human with grayish skin, gray hair, and yellow eyes.  His body and face appears somewhat strained and tense,
although his eyes are intensely calm and peaceful.  He is Rindol Meadowdark, a mysterious fellow who has apparently given up a life
of adventuring to settle down as the curator of the Aumbrie's sizable collection of literature.  He is permeated by a haze of
shadow, a dim auroric radiance, and a dim sparkling light.  
He looks about seventeen dimins tall, five and a quarter dimins wide, and one and three tenths dimins front to back.

• Info

• Responding to Rindol's idle chat: Rindol wonders, " Did you ever get your revenge, Leodak? "
  • You remark, 'leodak'
  • Rindol remarks, " Oh, I'm sure you don't want to hear that story. It's far too long. "
  • You remark, 'story'
  • Rindol remarks, " say Well, if you insist. You might want to get comfortable, however. "
  • Rindol remarks, " A very long time ago in a world much different from your own, I was a guard in a small town. One day, my friend Leodak and I chased down a thief who had stolen some goods in the market. When we cornered him, he fought with amazing skill like we had never seen before, but eventually we were able to defeat him. Unfortunately, he did not survive the encounter. "
  • Rindol remarks, " When we searched his corpse, we found a strange and cryptic map, which we followed to the far north, nearly dying in the process. We stumbled upon a secret monastery, where we were trained in strange and mystical arts of the blade by our leader, a masked figure called Black Fox. When our training was complete, we were sent out into the world to bring justice to evildoers with our skills... or so we thought. "
  • Rindol remarks, " Eventually we discovered that our missions had actually been mercenary work -- Black Fox was using our talents for profit, not for justice. We returned to the monastary to confront Black Fox, but we found it in flames, with most of our brothers dead. The only survivor was a classmate of ours named Diego, who joined us in our quest to uncover the truth and force Black Fox to answer for the crimes we had endured. "
  • Rindol remarks, " Our quest took us to some strange places, and we experienced many trials and suffered greatly. Eventually, we uncovered a horrible secret -- our world was doomed to be destroyed by a horrible phenomenon from beyond the stars, called the Dead Star, which destroyed all life and twisted it into unholy mockeries. "
  • Rindol remarks, " We eventually tracked down Black Fox, only to discover that our teacher had been concealing more than one truth. Black Fox, whom we had thought to be a man, was in fact a woman, a priestess revered by many kingdoms as a bringer of peace and truth. We and our brothers had been the strong right arm of a decades-long campaign of manipulation and political assassinations. We defeated and captured her, but we could not stop the arrival of the Dead Star, and our world was scythed clean of life, with the undead crawling from their graves to roam the world for all time. "
  • Rindol remarks, " The four of us managed to escape our world by traveling through the dimensions, but we were separated by the tides of the void. Leodak pursued Black Fox, I know not where, and Diego seemed to simply fade away. I found myself here in your world, near death, but managed to reach safety and recuperate. "
  • Rindol remarks, " After some time of becoming acquainted with your realm and learning your language, I traveled for some time, exploring and adventuring amongst your peoples. Eventually, however, I grew tired of wandering, and sought to find a place to dedicate myself to a worthy purpose. Eventually, I found the Aumbrie, uninhabited, and decided to devote my efforts to restoring and maintaining a safe haven within these realms. "
  • Rindol remarks, " And that is my story. I hope you haven't fallen asleep. "
