Dopple

An archivist of countless treasures from the Vaults of Venagoth, Döpple shares history’s greatest artifacts with his binders.

Legend

When the Arcane Archive burned, many of its surviving treasures, including tomes of ancient lore and magic items of boundless power, were transported thousands of miles away to the Vaults of Venagoth, where they rested in safety for centuries. In its prime, the Venagoth family was immensely rich and influential, and chose to amass their wealth in their ancestral Vaults, which were practically impregnable, built deep into a mountain, and secured with excessively potent wards. No thief ever successfully infiltrated the Vaults of Venagoth and made it out alive. But one archivist, Döpple, was freely permitted into the Vaults to organize and curate their vast collection.
Alas, the record of history is long and unforgiving. With the Venagoth’s waning influence came the ire of a barbarian warlord from the north, who campaigned south to burn cities, dethrone kings, and eventually sack the Venagoth estates. Knowing their treasure to be too momentous to lose, the Venagoth patron commanded Döpple to seal himself within the Vaults until the military could drive back the savage horde.
But rescue never came. The Archivist lived out his final days, perhaps his final decades, surrounded by the amassed artifacts of millennia. The Vaults of Venagoth were lost to history, but the search for their location always lingers on the entombed Archivist, organizing the collection until his death. Ironically, Döpple’s vestige is exceedingly generous where history is not: he is represented by a learned, bespectacled man, standing at the Vaults’ door, offering his treasures to those who understand their significance.

Personality Trait 

While bound to this vestige, you gain the following personality trait: “I look after the fine details of all my possessions, keeping them organized and in excellent repair.”

Minor Relic

When you bind Döpple, a magic item appears in your possession. The item vanishes when you are no longer bound to Döpple. The item is your choice of the following: 2 beads of force, a necklace of fireballs (2 beads), an oil of etherealness, a potion of gaseous form, or a potion of invisibility.

Relic

When you bind Döpple, a magic item appears in your possession. You are automatically attuned to it, if it requires attunement, and it doesn’t count against the number of items you have attuned. Moreover, no other creature can attune to the item or, if the item is a weapon, use it to make an attack. The item vanishes when you are no longer bound to Döpple.
The item is your choice of the following: a carpet of flying, a cloak of the bat, a flame tongue, gauntlets of ogre power, an instant fortress, a ring of regeneration, a ring of telekinesis, a sun blade, or a wand of wonder.

Trait: Spectacles

As a final parting gift, Döpple offers his binders his very spectacles. While wearing the spectacles, if you make an Intelligence (Arcana), Intelligence (History), Intelligence (Nature), or Intelligence (Religion) check, you can treat the result as a 10, or your binder level plus your Charisma modifier, whichever is higher.
