Thaldrin Vaelin
Presence
Thaldrin’s robes shimmer with arcane symbols—a mosaic of forgotten spells. His eyes, once bright with curiosity, now reflect guilt and fear.
Origins
He initiated the time loop, seeking an elusive artifact.
Offer
Thaldrin pleads for cooperation or freedom. His fate is entwined with the citadel’s—a sorcerer caught in his own spell.
Notes
If Thaldrin learns that the party wants to take the artifact and leave everyone stuck in the loop, he will become hostile.
Loops
Loop 1
Thaldrin is aloof, testing the players’ resolve. He offers vague hints about the artifact’s location.
You seek the artifact
It lies where time bends.
Loop 2
Thaldrin recognizes them, revealing his role in the time loop. He pleads for release or cooperation.
You remember!
I set this in motion. I can aid you.
Loop 3+
Thaldrin’s desperation grows. He admits his guilt and fears eternal imprisonment.
I fear oblivion. Break the loop or we're all lost.
I see your determination. The artifact eludes you, yet hope persists like a distant star.
Our threads tangle, fate entwined. Break the loop, and perhaps redemption awaits.
