Mad Scholars Faction Page

With their minds broken as a result of the mindplague, these elves have dedicated themselves to retaining as much of their history as possible. Many have a memory scroll, but the most dangerous have found other ways of preserving their past.
Most mad scholars are independent, territorial, and generally do not bother the people of the Broken Lands as long as they stay out of their way; the scholars only really venture out to capture some new piece of information, spending most of their energies gathering and protecting their knowledge and memories. Mad scholars generally do not have any significant resources beyond their libraries and the information within, what additional resources they do have seem to be unique and varied depending on their interests.
In contrast to the norm for mad scholars, the trinity of Tevut, Luciana and Aedius seem to be working together for purposes unknown. They seem to be gathering resources and building constructs seemingly to be ready for battle.
==Notable NPCs==
Aedius, Half Construct Mad Elf
One of the three members of the trinity, Aedius has replaced large amounts of his body and mind in order to attempt to retain his memories; this mixture of magic and machine seems to have preserved his memories, though many are stored elsewhere. Aedius provides his construct expertise to the trinity, building its forces.
Luciana, Mad Elf Mind Mage
One of the three members of the trinity, Luciana has mastered magic of the mind and of memories in order to fight her mindplague. No longer a resident in her own body, she jumps from vessel to vessel as she needs, implanting her memories in others for more permanent storage. Luciana uses her magic to dominate civilians to provide workers, as well as supplying minds for the more advanced constructs the trinity deploy.
Tevut, Temporal Historian
One of the three members of the trinity, Tevut is a master of time magic. As such, he does not so much keep his memories as look back in time to see what happened. Tevut has multiple versions of himself active, as he pulls in copies from alternate timelines; this is also where much of the mad scholar's resources come from.
==Quest Ideas==
Library Raiding: The various unaligned mad scholars are sitting on a wealth of information that may well be useful to Athesia. However, the mad scholars may not be happy about sharing their wealth of knowledge.
