Abraxus Quillmaster

Abraxus is a traveling human mage staying in the tavern while researching material for a book on the subterranean world. The mage does not know about the specific entity known as The Voice, but is aware this region was once the home to a lost civilization who worshipped dark beings of terrible power. He can point characters to old broken ruins in nearby caverns likely left by this civilization. This can lead to the Quest – A Voice in the Darkness, but with the characters arriving at the old shrine shortly before Hermina and Zhag appear. Abraxus has no desire to explore, preferring the inn’s comforts to the risks of the surrounding caves, but can be used as a source of lore in the region.
