Immeral "Imrel"

History

Immeral — known to some as Imrel — was born in Neverwinter to a family of scribes and scholars devoted to Oghma, the Binder of What Is Known.
His childhood was a quiet one, spent among parchment and ink rather than play. To Immeral, books were companions and silence was comfort.

He entered the Neverwinter Arcane Academy, where he quickly gained a reputation for his precision, restraint, and intellect. Calm and detached, he believed that magic was not a weapon but a means of understanding creation itself.
He trusted few, spoke little, and measured every word — a student of both spellcraft and self-discipline.

When turmoil swept the North, Immeral joined a small band of adventurers answering a call for help in Phandalin. There, he would find both friendship and purpose.

Background

Immeral and his companions exposed and defeated Yarno “Glasstaff” Albrek and the Black Spider, freeing Phandalin from corruption and reopening Wave Echo Cave. His mastery of Evocation magic and surgical precision on the battlefield earned him the respect of allies and foes alike.
He kept Glasstaff’s staff as a reminder of what happens when intellect strays from humility.

Upon returning to Neverwinter, he resumed teaching and research at the Arcane Academy, dividing his time between the Temple of Oghma and private study. His focus turned toward the interplay between divine inspiration and arcane law — where knowledge ends, and faith begins.

Associates

• Oghma’s Temple (Neverwinter): His spiritual and intellectual refuge; priests still hope for his safe return.
• Serelwyn: Moon elf librarian; motives uncertain.
• Archmage Vaelithor of Silverstand: Scholar of magic stones and Emberpass; disappeared in Neverwinter.
• Julco of Phandalin: Old ally and friend. Both share a belief that progress and knowledge belong to the many, not the few.

Titles & Reputation

• Hero of Phandalin — honored for ending the Black Spider’s reign.
• Scholar of Oghma — respected among temples and mages for balanced intellect and faith.
• The Quiet Flame — Academy nickname for his calm demeanor and explosive precision in combat.

Traits & Beliefs

• View of Magic: “Power is safe only in the hands of those who fear it.”
• View of Faith: “The gods gave us reason. It dishonors them not to use it.”
• View of Knowledge: “Truth doesn’t belong to kings or priests — it belongs to those who seek it.”
• View of People: “Most mean well. That rarely makes them right.”
• Ideal: Enlightenment through inquiry. Every question unasked is a shadow unbroken.
• Flaw: Pride in reason blinds him to emotion; he sees people as puzzles, not as souls.

Current Chapter

Now a prisoner in Hallow Gate Jail, Immeral watches, listens, and waits.
The cursed ranger, the fallen monk, and the volatile sorcerer locked near him are not the company he sought — yet something in their convergence feels deliberate.

When he closes his eyes, faint blue sparks pulse from his fingertips, tracing runes only he can see. Even here, even in darkness, knowledge endures.
