Sage at the Lykeion Academy of Magical Arts and Sciences, Theodora studies Mythology and Folklore. She focuses on the myths, legends, and folklore of regional cultures, helping students understand the stories that shape societies.
Theodora van Dijk, a master and sage at the Lykeion Academy, is a woman driven by a deep obsession with uncovering the ancient secrets of the world. Her focus on mythology and folklore has led her to the discovery of the legendary Scrolls of Moz, which she believes hold the key to unimaginable power and knowledge. Though nearly 60, Theodora's ambition burns as brightly as ever, and she is determined to acquire the scrolls, even if it means sending others into danger on her behalf.
She is known for her sharp intellect, but also for her pretentious and self-righteous demeanor. Theodora is a scientific jack-of-all-trades, capable of solving any problem or escaping any situation, often in ways that insult or offend those around her. Her colleagues see her as vain, with aspirations that may be as much about personal glory as they are about scholarly pursuit. Despite her flaws, Theodora's knowledge and expertise make her a force to be reckoned with, and she has spent decades decoding the complex ciphers of Old Moogan and Draconic to prepare for this moment.
Theodora has recently learned of a jungle trader named Jordin Muis (Mouse), who may have stumbled upon the Lost City of Nirnaeth, where the Scrolls of Moz are rumored to be hidden. Though she once might have donned her hat and whip to retrieve the scrolls herself, those days are behind her. Instead, she seeks adventurers to take on this dangerous quest, motivated by the promise of ancient wisdom and the hope of securing her place in history. Some whisper that she dreams of an audience with King Wolfswinkel, perhaps even a statue in the Upper District, while others believe she sees the scrolls as the key to unlocking the power to disintegrate and reassemble matter itself.
