Understanding history isn't just about translating old laws and reading about who invaded whom; it's also packed with magical outbursts, extraplanar interventions, and unexplained oddities not yet understood by modern science. You have a knack for absorbing esoteric trivia and unraveling past supernatural events. Your studies recently drew you to the dwarven city of Tar-Kazmukh, whose Blue Warders maintain an eclectically magical library. Perusing its shelves didn't answer your most burning questions, but it did earn you some friends, expose you to a dizzying array of dwarven religious lore, and introduce you to some intriguing mysteries buried in Highhelm's history.
Believing that Highhelm might provide you with greater opportunities, a Blue Warder named Rosha Coppervein facilitated introductions between you and their adoptive clan, Clan Tolorr. It seems your credentials and whatever Rosha wrote on your behalf made an impression; within a week, you received an invitation to Highhelm and travel funds to study with Tolorr sages! The shy Rosha has stayed in Tar-Kazmukh for now, enjoying its relative quiet, but you know that they'll join you in a few weeks for Tolorr's Family Festival.
