Abigail Sternswallow Story

Abigail Sternswallow

Human Wizard, Divination.

Abigail was a young apprentice on a fast track with other apprentices being prepared to attend the University of Scholara. Early on in the apprenticeship however, Aby was abducted by an Archfey, being kept in the Feywilds as a cupbearer and human pet for 20 years. Abigail was tasked with menial duties, minor magical chores, foraging and entertaining guests of the Archfey. This has fostered a strange kinship with the fey while also instilling a healthy respect of their ever changing whims. On such a whim, Aby's Lord abductor decided that Abigail had grown too old and tiresome as a middle aged human to fulfill his duties as cupbearer any longer and was released back to the material plane. Abigail appeared back on the grounds of his prep school, 20 years older and stranger, on the same day as his fellow apprentices were graduating to enroll in Scholara. For them it had only been 4 years. A parting joke from his fey captor. Abigail soon graduated from his apprenticeship as the oldest or youngest apprentice in the shortest or longest time, depending on how one chooses to mark the time. Abigail caught up with his classmates and excelled in Scholara, in some ways benefitting and in others suffering from his 20 years of experience in the wilds. Ultimately Aby is regarded as an accomplished Divination wizard, but with a poor reputation due to his strange manners and anxious disposition. These days Abigail serves as a researcher and explorer for adventuring parties and interested organizations in need of either his divination abilities or sensitivity to things related to strange magical events attributed to strong magical beings, especially concerning the Fey.
