Orecintis

**Orecintis** *(also pronounced "Orechintis")* is a character in the *Forgotten Realms Campaign* of Nat19. He is a lore-loving brass dragon as well as Casper Caskbuckle's adoptive father. As an NPC, he is portrayed by *Aaron Robert Parnell*.

 Personality

Orecintis is a kind and jovial dragon with a deep love and craving for knowledge of any kind. This curiosity can lead to him being somewhat nosy, as he is known to ask others about parts of their lives they may or may not wish to talk about. He appears to care for those under his employ, and has a strong rapport with them. He has been seen giving knowledge quite freely to those his allies trust, but is more hesitant when it comes to sharing material possessions.

## Role in Plot

Orecintis has been mentioned by Casper several times, most notably during the Apocalypse Party's battle with Carnifex. Believing all dragons to be kind and altruistic like his foster father, Casper declared his relationship with Orecintis to Carnifex, with the black dragon claiming to smell the metallic dragon's scent on the dwarven rogue.

After Carnifex had left, Casper talked to the group about Orecintis, with Krusk even recognizing the name. He speculated that if Carnifex knew of Orecintis, then perhaps the reverse was also true. Ajisai recommended he get in contact with Orecintis, asking him to gather any knowledge he can about Carnifex, as well as any enemies the black dragon may have so that they might potentially ally with them against him in the future.

That same night, Kyra suggested using her Detect Thoughts spell to read Casper's mind in order to see his memories of Orecintis and get an idea of what he looks like. This idea was successful, and allowed her to use the Sending spell to contact him the following day and inquire about the Elder Elemental Eye. Rather than respond to her messages, Orecintis teleported to the Apocalypse Party's location and brought them to his hidden library.

While there, he asked them to tell him everything about themselves, which Reagan and Ajisai complied with. Before anyone else spoke up, Casper convinced Orecintis to wait for their life stories until after they had the information they came for, which the brass dragon dejectedly agreed to. They asked him about the Elder Elemental Eye, as well as how one might sever its influence over a given elemental. He told them his theory that the Eye was actually an aspect of another god, and that it was seeking to spread the Elemental Chaos into the Prime Material Plane. He also proposed a handful of ways to break its hold on an elemental, with the most immediately viable being to disrupt any rituals being performed in the elemental nodes.

When Kyra inquired about Orecintis' stock of spellbooks and spell scrolls, he claimed he probably had some but that she could not have them. He was eventually persuaded by Casper to trade with Kyra and Krusk for stories of their recent adventure in Waterdeep. This trade led to him loaning Kyra a Helm of Teleportation, to allow them to more easily and quickly traverse the Dessarin Valley.

## Relationships & Affiliations

### Casper Caskbuckle

According to Casper, Orecintis is one of his two fathers, though it is an adoptive relationship. He is not very accessible to Casper, however, only being available to communicate with via contacts.
