Talk:Arklem Greeth

Source for Quaeltar Thaeloon as Greeth's Top Assistant?
It is written here that Q.T. was Greeth's top assistant and was killed in the 1371 DR assassination attempt made on Greeth. But what is the source for that?

I suspect that it's probably true, but that's only an educated guess, and I think it wise to say as much, rather than flatly declaring it to be true. Regards, --BEAST, 76.31.69.189 22:33, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

EDIT: The game accessory The Accursed Tower, p.31, actually referred to Q.T. as the Archmage Arcane of the Hosttower in Spring, 1369 DR. This is odd, because the Villains' Lorebook, p.21, published a year earlier, had already cited Greeth as the Archmage Arcane. Perhaps the best solution for this contradiction is to, indeed, view Q.T. as Greeth's top assistant, who was assassinated by Eldeluc and Valkebar (Lords of Darkness, pp.110 & 111). --BEAST, 76.31.37.213 08:02, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

Q.T. was cited as the Archmage Arcane in The North: Guide to the Savage Frontier (II:p66). Greeth was cited as Master of the North Tower (TN:GTTSF, I: p74). But it was also acknowledged that details about senior leadership of the Hosttower were very sketchy to outsiders, at that time (TN:GTTSF, I:p66). So, once again, it appears that the best solution would be to view Greeth as the Archmage, and Thaeloon as his top assistant. Perhaps Greeth even used Thaeloon as a front man to outsiders, giving them the impression that Q.T. was indeed the Archmage? --BEAST, 76.31.37.213 08:21, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

EDIT: Greeth is actually referred to as "the master of the Host Tower of the Arcane" (TN:GTTSF, I:p74)--whatever that means--and not as the Master of the North Tower, as my previous talking point stated. This is odd, because the same source refers to Q.T. as the Archmage Arcane. So what is the master of the tower, if not also the Archmage? The source is also odd because it refers to Dendybar the Mottled as still being alive in 1370 DR (TN:GTTSF, I:p74)--even though that character died in the novel Streams of Silver (Epilogue) in the late summer (P3:C17) of 1356 DR. --BEAST, 76.31.37.213 08:34, September 13, 2013 (UTC)
