Bartholomew - Conjuration Sorcerer

A graduate from the University of Ardris, Bartholomew specialised in the arcane art of Conjuration, harnessing Minera’s Breath to summon weapons, armour, or creatures to his aid. Yet for all the spells he mastered, there were many that he wished to better learn, namely those wielded by the Drow of Lo Fuin. There the inhabitants of the labyrinthine tunnels and murky swamps had developed their own arcane traditions, harnessing power from both the Moon and their supposed Spider God, Irinax. At first he joined the Tharadori Scholar’s Association in pursuit of this knowledge, but exhausted all research on the matter swiftly, for little was documented. Thus he has now travelled to the outpost of Zander’s Peril, funded by the TSA. Whilst he had heard of the perilous nature of Lo Fuin, nothing prepared him for it until he walked the road to Zander’s Peril with an escort from the World Explorers & Hunters League. Monsters assailed their caravan constantly, and several of his less-prepared colleagues were lost in the journey. Thankfully, for his own arcane acuity, Bartholomew was able to defend himself when the time was needed. Now, in Zander’s Peril itself, he is stuck wondering how to even go about his research. The lands beyond the outpost are a death trap, and the Glanbelite Drow which were reportedly amicable towards Zander’s Peril when he first began his endeavour, have now withdrawn back into reclusion. Seeing little other options, Bartholomew is beginning to consider his own expedition into the swamp to reach the Drow city of Hirika and begin his research.
