"These manifestations are a security matter and a spiritual one."
Archmagister of the Venturian Academy of Veiled Arts and an Autumn Council member. A high elf nearing two centuries — middle-aged by elven reckoning — he has taught at VAVA for close to a hundred years and led it for forty, a rare scholar who is both genuinely brilliant and genuinely liked, able to make obscure magical theory feel alive.
On the Council
Dorian votes with cautious pragmatism, favoring measured investigation and opposing anything that might destabilize the city — or the Academy's funding. His public line is that the manifestations belong to the Watch and the Abbey; in practice he keeps VAVA's considerable scholarship in careful reserve.
