Mayastan Sadaar was a dragonborn sage that lived in the library-fortress of Candlekeep during the late 15th century DR.[1]
History[]
In the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR, Mayastan uncovered the book entitled The Canopic Being within Candlekeep and grew greatly troubled. She was insistent on traveling to the far-off city of Tashluta and learning more from the oracle of the House of the All-Seeing Orb, Valin Sarnaster.[1] In fact, Mayastan sought to confront the oracle and prevent her from completing out the series of rituals outlined in the book.[2]
One of Candlekeep's Great Readers, A'lai Aivenmore, became concerned at Mayastan's sudden shift in focus and set a group of adventurers to follow her to Tashluta.[1]
Upon her arrival, Mayastan was received by the servants of Valin Sarnaster and taken into her inner sanctum.[1] Mayastan's pancreas was forcibly removed and replaced with that of Valin Sarnaster, as part of the ritual that would transform the dragonborn sage into one of the oracle's canopic golems. Realizing the fate that awaited her after the transplant, Mayastan chose to end her own life and not allow Sarnaster to gain strength at the expense of her own body.[2]
