You could've asked me to do the same - to throw myself at her, what I wanted be damned. But you didn’t. And I’m grateful.

For I am death. And I am not the end - I am a beginning.

Let's see. I hail from Waterdeep, the City of Splendours. I'm a wizard of considerable acclaim and scholar of exceptional accomplishment. I have a cat, a library and a weakness for a good glass of wine. And if the mood takes me I'm known to try my hand at poetry.

Tread carefully, now. Not even a god would survive sacrificing me.

Fine, I guess I'll just stay here and eat dirt or whatever.
