"He’s an accomplished mage; in fact, he might be able to serve as an Expert Healer if you’re looking for one. He’s primarily interested in the College of Phantasm. He knows a lot about Tulla, and is useful to talk to, even if he doesn’t join your group. He’s drawn to adventure and seeing the world.”

Background[]

Perriman Smythe has spent most of his life in Tulla studying the magical arts. He has the respect and confidence of headmaster Simeon Tor, who selected him to travel to Tarant to assist Chairman Edward Willoughsby to investigate a mysterious event. While there Perriman and Willoughsby were involved in another incident, which may or may not have been related. Regardless, it caught the attention of Sir Chadwick Moore who subsequently published some of Perriman's adventures. Rather than the "Unfortunate Affair" dampening his spirit, Perriman is ready for still more travels.
