Silayuss has spent most of his life studying the secrets of Xen’drik, and few people are more thoroughly versed in the history of the aftermath of the giant–quori wars. As he grows older, his field expeditions have become less frequent but his research has not slowed. Now, instead of setting off himself for parts unknown, he hires other groups to retrieve giant carvings and minor relics. Inherently distrustful of those who might steal his work, Silayuss extensively checks out the reputations and motivations of any in his employ.
If he is forced into combat (which is rare these days), Silayuss unleashes his most powerful magic fi rst, using everything at his disposal to dispatch his enemies before they have a chance to respond. Silayuss flees from melee combat, preferring to use magic to destroy his enemies from afar.
Primal scholars are spellcasters bent on uncovering and mastering the ancient magic that lies buried in the jungles, deserts, and mountains of Xen’drik. While some draw this power from giant lore, others seek to learn the secrets of the quori or the dragons themselves. No matter the source of their knowledge, these driven scholars learn to tap the power of ancient magic and weave it into their own spells. In addition to explorers, many of the natives of Xen’drik have taken up this class, rediscovering the magic of their ancestors or former masters.
