### Geon: The Lore of the Loremaster

Long ago, this elf gained knowledge at any cost and when reflecting upon his vast acquisition, he had remorse for what he had done. One night, while dreaming, this elf was visited by the Lord of the Dreaming who saw great use in the elf's memories for the purposes of creating nightmares and sought to relieve the elf of his burdened mind. Morpheus offered a deal to the elf: Surrender the memories to the Endless and retain the knowledge, and be given a chance to clear his troubled conscience through service. The elf agreed and, to his surprise, he was transformed into a raven without a memory to facilitate this.

For some time, he had no name. He was just another member of the rookery of Dream. Eve took an interest in the raven without a story, finding him to be a rather interesting conversationalist and a good listener. Though he had no personal stories of his own to share of his life before, he was always happy to listen to Eve's.

For a while, he would exchange messages between Eve and her husband Adam. Often accompanied by another raven. One day, the two ravens had difficulty finding Adam. Following a lead, they came to search for him among the Norse people. While they were snooping about, the god Odin snatched up the two ravens and locked them in a cage — sensing they were more than mere birds.

Odin interrogated the birds at great length, eventually the other raven spilled the beans saying "The Mother of All sends us to speak with the Father of All." This had Odin confused, as he styled himself the 'Allfather.' He demanded the ravens give him the message, but neither raven felt they could betray Eve's confidence. The raven that was the elf tried to find a diplomatic solution, but eventually he had to insult the god by saying 'You are not the Father of All.' Odin almost killed the ravens, but the poet of the court, Bragi, suggested servitude as an alternative to death.

Odin was a renowned seeker of wisdom and knowledge. He saw use in having ravens that could guide him through the different realms on his travels. He decided to keep the ravens and had the ravens placed under a spell to serve him. The ravens were given names, with the elf becoming Huginn (meaning "Thought", for he had plenty of those) and his companion raven being named Muninn ("Memory", for she still had her memories).

Despite his magical compulsion to serve Odin, Huginn enjoyed his time among the Norse. He and Muninn were well-treated and became something of honored consultants to the Allfather rather than his thralls. Huginn and Muninn also became lovers. However, after the joining of the Aesir and the Vanir, many of the Vanir were uncomfortable about how the ravens came to be associated with the Allfather. Some demanded that they be freed and allowed to choose their own path. Listening to the gods argue, the trickster Loki got an idea and worked his magic to unweave the magic bound to the ravens.

While delivering a message for Odin to the Huldufólk, Huginn's raven form was cast aside and he reverted to his forgotten elf form. Left befuddled by the counterspell, the elf was taken in by the Huldufólk who could see he was one of them. Some of the elders thought Huginn may have once been Geon, the founder of their tribe, who was the reason they had gone into hiding so long ago. Huginn was not so sure.

After he was well enough to travel, Huginn returned to Odin's court. Seeing his raven's true form, Odin felt remorse for how he had treated his once feathered friend. Odin thanked the elf and freed him from service.

Having lost his patron, Huginn went searching for Muninn. She had been delivering a message to Njord when the counterspell hit, so he went to Thrymheimr in search of her. However, Njord said the message was never received. Njord told Huginn he was welcome to wait for her and so he did. Panacea often gave him brownies as he waited and the two got to talking. They had briefly met before and she kept calling him Geon, eventually he stopped correcting her and since she liked to talk, others began calling him that as well. He liked to read books to pass the time and so Njord offered him the use of the library. Soon, Geon just started looking after the books.

At this point, Geon had lost all hope of Muninn ever finding her way to Thrymheimr. But ever patient and faithful, Geon is content to wait in his library.

* **Elf Physiology:** Elves are species descended from prolonged interbreeding between daimons and faeries, native to various realms of the Void, the Homelands' continent of Europa, most of Jörd, and Earth's Europe. Geon is an elf of the Hvítálfar classification, also known as a "Shining Elf", specifically a clan of Hvítálfar from Bjorland knows as the Huldufólk or "Hidden People". These elves prefer the cold and come from the arctic regions and mountaionus terrain. They are easily identified by their white hair and silver eyes, and are generally among the longest lived classes of elves on average.

While the Huldufólk believe Geon was alwats a Hvítálfar, Geon himself suspects that Loki's magic reverted him to an elf form, but as elves are creatures descended from ephemeral beings, Geon simply manifested into a new elves body based on the ambient essence of the area he was in. He claims that he hates Bjorland and would never had led any elves to settle there as proof of this, but Panacea thinks he's just in denial or deliberately feigning humility to deflect the Shining Elves' gratitude.
	+ ***Enhanced Agility:*** Geon has a level of agility, coordination, and general dexterity.
	+ ***Enhanced Balance:*** Geon never loses his balance. He can run across icy ledges without fear of slipping and can climb the tallest of trees without trouble.
	+ ***Enhanced Hearing:*** Geon, like most elves, has truly exceptional hearing.
	+ ***Enhanced Reflexes:*** Geon has reaction time and reflexes better than humans.
	+ ***Enhanced Sight:*** Geon has sharp eyes that can make out incredible detail.
	+ ***Longevity:*** Depending on their diet, lifestyle, and the ambient essence of their environment, elves can live as little as three centuries or live to attain ages that are easier measured in millenia than years, decades, or centuries. As evidence of this, Geon have lived for at least two thousand years (though not all of that as a elf).
	+ ***Nightvision:*** Elves have excellent low-light vision.
	+ ***Supernatural Senses:*** Elves see, hear and interact with unmanifested ephemerals, ghosts, and astral projections.
* **Arcane Aptitudes:**
	+ ***"Dream Walking":*** Geon is a lucid dreamer and can enter a trance-like state at anytime to enter the Dreaming. He is recognized as an honored guest for his past service and is free to come and go from the Ghost Castle at will.
	+ ***"Forget That Not":*** Geon can reinforce his memory to allow him the ability to not forget a certaind etail upon learning it or to quickly memorize a lengthy passage or complex image. While he can retain considerable knowledge this way, there is a limit and now to use this ability he must forget knowledge to remember new details.
	+ ***"Whispers of the Wind":*** Geon can say someone's name (it must either be their true name or the name they identify most with currently) who he has met prior and then recite a brief message. That person, regardless of where they are, will receive the message as a telepathic prompt accompanied by the thought of Geon speaking it to them. Once sent, Geon has no way of knowing if the message was received.
	+ ***"Wisdom of the Elders":*** Geon can sometimes pluck small, usually trivial, knowledge from the ether. He has no particular control over this ability, he will just be prompted with such information at random times. He may overhear a conversation between other parties and be prompted to know the name of a person another is speaking about but their name escaped their recollection. Often, when he has read something interesting in his texts, he may gain futher insight on the subject.
* **Loremastery:** Geon is a legendary scholar. He is well-versed in practically every subject known to the ancients and many modern studies as well.

### Weaknesses

* **Ancient Rules:** Elves are still bound, to some degree, by the ancient laws of the Void which pertain to their ephemeral ancestors.
* **Bestial Impulses:** Geon still has some animalistic qualities, such as collecting shiny trinkets. He also justifies his lingering love for Muninn citing ravens mate for life.
* **Vulnerability — Pure Adamant:** Geon finds the touch of pure Adamant painful.
* **Vulnerability — Pure, Unforged Iron:** Geon cannot abide the touch of pure iron.
