Tethtoril

Tethtoril was the First Reader of Candlekeep as of 1367 DR.

"Go to Gorion and listen well, for without knowledge. life is a mere shadow of death."

- Tethtoril

Description
He was known to be wise and soft spoken. Tethtoril was a tall man who was often mistaken for Ulraunt the Keeper of the Tomes. To Ulraunt's great disdain, Tethtoril was more stately, intelligent, and better liked than his haughty superior.

Tethtoril was dedicated to his duties and loved Candlekeep, always trying to protect the citadel and its inhabitants from trouble or embarrassments.

Abilities
Tethtoril was a powerful cleric who, if need arose, could defend himself with call lightning and flame strike spells.

Relationships
Tethtoril was friendly with Firebead Elvenhair - a traveling wizard who often visited the citadel of Candlekeep, while Gorion and Abdel Adrian were his close acquaintances.

It was believed that Mystra, the Mother of All Magic, communed with Tethtoril in his dreams and guided his research, often leading him to finding rare and precious spells tucked and hidden deep in the tomes and dusty shelves of the grand library.

History
In 1368 DR, Tethtoril borrowed a spell scroll from visiting Firebead Elvenhair. The wizards asked Abdel to retrieve it for him.
