Rayst
Master of Arcangrove’s Tower of Magic
Rayst leads Arcangrove’s Tower of Magic, combining scholarship with responsibility for the magi who have trained there for centuries. His response to threats is to investigate their nature and prepare a defense. Studying Ledgermayne’s traces leads him to recommend reassembling the Supreme Arcane Staff despite the danger that once caused the magi to dismantle it. He accompanies the Hero to the para-elemental plane and pledges the magi’s aid against Drakath.
His cooperation with Reens and the other magi continues in the defense of Arcangrove. Captivity does not make him willing to serve its attackers. He refuses the ShadowFlame forces’ demand for cooperation before Warlic helps rescue them.
