Knowledge-seeking half-elf sorcerer whose greatest desire is to know his origin. Reveres life, respects thieves, and loves old, abandoned places. Wants to know why he gets deathly ill and loses his powers when he's separated from the key in his pocket.

Craums Wrenth is the level-headed leader of There Be Dragons, a group of once mercenaries who have now been swept up in a battle to save the deserts. His guild, Time Sworn Sentinels, asked him to recover a few artifacts from a cave and the items found in that cave propelled the group into a battle with the evil Khalitharius.

The key that Cramus wears has some link to this journey - an imprint was found in a room and it opened a hidden door. There he found more clues those that pointed to Marion Dredwater.

"Lida ath Menatu"

Ring of Mind Shielding

Krelik, leader of the Timeworn Sentinels and devout of Thoth, led Cramus through a series of trials that challenged his dedication to protecting and uncovering ancient knowledge. After proving his worth, Cramus has become the sixth inductee of this Age. From their observatory in Caerodale, Cramus gathered knowledge of the stars and mathematics. The immense knowledge contained in the Thothian libraries pushed Cramus to the outside world, to make real the things he's read in books and to discover new knowledge in dedication to the Sentinels. As a token of his vigilance and recognition of his burden, Cramus must bear on his finger "Lida ath Menatu".

"Eight-pinned Soles"

Slippers of Spider Climbing

The spider Nixod feasted upon those who dared enter its lair. Rarely did it need to venture forth, as Arumar presented plentiful prey. Cramus and his party were commissioned to track down a scroll of minor importance when Nixod snared Cramus's hired man, Thred. Thred's screams echoed through the caves as Cramus's company slashed through Nixod's brood. Eventually, Nixod spewed its final ichor and shuttered to the ground, slain. Thred did not survive, despite the mass of spider hairs clutched in his hand. His body was carried back to Arumar, where his father, a worker of fine cloth, comissioned his final work in honor of his son, the "Eight-pinned Soles". The slippers honor Thred's memory and, crafted using the spider hairs Thred still clutched, took a power to walk upon surfaces as if Nixod himself.

They See Things Too!

by Knowledge Warden Cramus Wrenth

I'm not the only one seeing things! Overnight, Merosh conversed with a man who wore a leopard skin robe and ornate headpiece, with a snake that faces out. Waking Jaimis, Merosh talked with the man, who apparently wasn't a man at all. He was moving unnaturally. He revealed himself as "Amun'Ra, son of Takash-Ra, of the house Mul'Palar", and that his shadow is wandering the lands in search of men of valor. He hoarded posessions in his tomb, everyone hated him, and the people rose up in anger to demand their lives, gold, and freedom back. Amun'Ra cursed them, and the rivers slowed and died in Cyrus's holy name. Athnis, the spring, stopped its flow.

So now we know the source of the curse that dried up the land! In return, Osiris cursed Amun'Ra, to live forever, until his staff of ruling is taken, as well as the gem of Mul'Palar. Merosh, amazing as he is, was even able to glean information about the star gems, who were given to pharaohs to protect and to watch in many of the battles. Mar'tek created Amun'Ra's gem. Merosh told us that when he asked about what could arm us, Amun'Ra's shadow spoke only gibberish.

Thallan didn't see anything, but Fy did! A regally-dressed man approaached her, in flowing gowns with the headband of a snake. Apparently Amun'Ra was that shadow as well. Interestingly enough, the figure said, "I think this is the first time someone has shown up who can enter the tomb. The tomb is not plundered, but there is wealth to be had and secrets to be unearthed." Fy also was able to determine that Amun'Ra and his kin used to live where the dragon was circling the rock. I guess that confirms it, I was seeing things.

A lone figure has just appeared on the dune ahead. Oh good, everyone else sees it too.

Cave Twenty-Six
We finally arrived at cave twenty-six. It was light out, and I was bored and impatient. I just wanted to go in, but Merosh made it a point to try to sniff out who's been in or out. I count on him and Fy and Thallan for that, I suppose. I guess you can nev...

The Desert and our First Camp
Al'Jaladiya of the Sand Voyager's Guild in Bralazar was a very clever man. Our visit there ended in his giving up little and us walking away one hundred gold lighter, but it might have been worse for us if Fy hadn't been so keen on impressing him. In hin...

The Desert of Desolation is Desolate
Fy sure did us a favor by spying on the Sand Voyager's Guild. I can't believe they are keeping all of those people as laborers, and to what end we don't really know. They seem somewhat willing and desperate. This must be something big though. Sekuh told h...

On Our Own with Jaimis
It's tough to write from the back of a camel, but I feel us growing close to something monumental. We're finally on our way to what we think is the lost Garden City of Pazar, and we've left the Sand Voyager's! That didn't go without event, anyway. Thal...

Lost Garden City of Pazar
The statue I had seen in the distance was massive, and the tablet it held was covered in sand and dust as if no one had been there in many decades. I could barely make out the words "name" and "city", but after walking up the side of the statue, I was abl...

Still Seeing Things
The settling of the rubble beneath us had me nervous, but as it slowed I found myself drifting off. Merosh and Thallan took watch through the night. I guess Thallan almost shot Jaimis with an arrow. Fy and company query Jaimis to see if he has knowledg...
