The Loremaster of Bahar Dar

Here's the original character sheet for Loremaster Diantha Noldo. Like many of the Bahar Dar spellcasters, she's not a heavily combat-oriented character. Instead, she focuses primarily on divination and abjuration. (Unlike a certain Elvish spellcaster of recent comic literature, Diantha did NOT prepare explosive runes today, although she does know the spell.) In a rarity, the character sheet names her familiar, who is a cat named Mynx.

Without a doubt, the Loremaster is a fantastic DMG prestige class. This sheet was generated very early in her career as a Loremaster. These days, after aiding in the battles against the blue dragons and venturing into the lair of Sylthraxis, Dinatha is likely the most important Loremaster in the northern world!

Diantha's "story" page focuses on her pursuit of knowledge surrounding the local history of the Dwarves. Intrepid readers who examine this page may obtain tantalizing clues into the history of the line of Narud in the Corridor. It's possible that there are adventures yet-to-be-had in the Corridor that revolve around the history of the Dwarves in the local area.

According to the story page, Diantha enjoyed the favor of Governor Czarnor and the priests of Wee Jas. This was because of her power as a spellcaster and purveyor of lore. However, in later writing it was revealed that she had something of a professional rivalry going with primary Wildlander ally Albrecht Entoto. It seems that Albrecht is a little bit jealous and insecure. It was his goal to supplant Diantha as curator of the Bahar Dar library and museum. Has Albrecht at last set aside this ambition?

There a really cool drawing on the story page, which will be covered in a later blog post. It is appropriately placed on a page related to Diantha, as the drawing and captions reference the ancient history of the world.
