Istano Menedar

Istano Menedar is a citizen of Westbrooke and leader of The Duloris Initiative. He has taken a great interest in Factus Formis, as well as anything related to the Vel'Karis. He apparently theorized of some sort of "Precursor Civilization" located in Duloris, which was proved upon his meeting of Factus.
Istano has shown great curiosity in the Vel'Karis, even working with the Westbrooke Adventurers Guild to explore Duloris and uncover their ruins. He is also a noted follower of The Celestian, meaning nothing bad ever happens to him.
Istano is an eccentric individual, greeting certain individuals, especially Savic Lofthaven II, with intense joviality.
Istano and other members of the Duloris Initiative established an outpost in the center of the continent, along with the Adventurer's Guild of Westbrooke. It was Istano himself that supplied Lucien Novelle with the teleportation circle for this outpost, so that they could begin their journey to retrieve the Chains of Phantasia.
