Chih
Chih is a human sage of Candlekeep.
Chih spends most of their time for Candlekeep traveling Faerûn collecting stories with their familiar, a blood hawk named Absolutely Fabulous. These stories, whether they’re oral histories, folk tales, or deep dives into the lore of the realm, eventually becoming new tomes for Candlekeep’s library. They tend to be quiet, willing to listen to others over talking about themselves. However they weave excellent tales and are happy to tell you about any of the stories they’ve collected.

Personal history
Chih's family originally came from Shou Lang in eastern Faerûn. They settled in the Shou district of Cormyr, eventually saving enough money to purchase land and start a farm outside of the city. From an early age Chih was very inquisitive and liked to collect stories, so it was only natural that they were drawn to the bardic tradition. When they became old enough to travel solo, they decided to travel to Candlekeep and become one of the Avowed.
Chih now works as an official story collector, traveling Faerûn to collect folk tales, oral histories, and family diaries to add to Candlekeep's collection. They work very closely with Great Reader Fheminor Scrivenbark to find new possible areas to explore. They're used to working alone on such missions but in certain cases need an adventuring party to take them into more dangerous territories.
