Aszerath

Aszerath is an NPC that was introduced in V0.1.10 "Bumble" update.

Aszerath is a dragon / demon hybrid who slipped past the defenders' watch and entered The Veil. Although initially seen as "potentially harmless", he has become a notable criminal in the Veil for his acts of dark sorcery and theft.

He's building a tower and will offer quests for items (that can be assumed) he will use to build it.

Aszerath very much supports trans rights.

Aszerath has a pet Scroll Searcher named Spell Seeker as of the V0.3.60 "The Hunter" update .

## **History**

> "Even with the best protection available - mind you, we have seven massive dragons out there defending us- some things still manage to make it through the cracks. The strangest of these beings is Aszerath. He poses as potentially harmless, with a stature much like ours and seemingly no purpose.You can find him residing in the furthest corner of the Veil, often tutting at those who stand near and complaining about having to stoop to our level.Be warned, citizens, that this being is a prime suspect for several crimes that have occurred recently.
>
>

> The most notable of these crimes, besides people turning into walking shadows, is the strange disappearance of book pages. Many people now report that their most important tomes are empty, their taxes unfiled, and every scroll within the northern hemisphere has been snatched. This would usually pose no issue, as most members of the Veil have helpful text to speech translators that automatically convert whatever they are looking at into an easy to digest message. However, the Castle Council has now lost all records of taxes, fees, imprisonments, and citizenship papers. If you plan on keeping your gil , assistance with locating these papers will be rewarded greatly.

> Additionally, Aszerath seems to have plans to erect some sort of large tower - the location unknown- and begin conducting potion experiments from outside the reach of the castle's law - the providence's airspace stops seven feet up. Although this problem could be addressed with a quick meeting to redefine the airspace, local 7'2 "tall man Newt Fretlock feels that forcing his hair to become a citizen would be immoral, and I personally agree."

### **Relationships**

**Rhubarb-** Due to Aszerath's dark ways, he and Rhubarb are presumed to be enemies. Rhubarb will not allow characters with the dark apprentice tag to buy items or complete quests for him,

**Dark Apprentice (s) -** Azserath has a 1/100 (or 1%) chance to randomly reward the player with a dark keystone . Delivering it to the dragon statue at Abbuglock town center will grant you the Dark Apprentice tag. Aszerath will reward players with this tag equipped with more gil for each quest . Since the dark clan is secondary, you can be in the dark clan and any other primal clan at the same time. This does not conflict with the other secondary clan , so you can be in a maximum of one primary and two secondary clans.
