Ryshard Sparklestone
Head Librarian Ryshard Gemron Sparklestone
Ryshard is sweet old rock gnome with a love of his friends and genuine joy in life. He thinks of other first and would never hurt another person on purpose. He love books and tea and also is a ridiculously powerful wizard.
Diyon
In Diyon, Ryshard's family had been abducted by Cultists and taken to who know where out in the danger of the corruption. Desperate to rescue them, Ryshard hired a pair of bodyguards and set off in search of whatever clues he could find to recover his missing family. Despite this motivation, he still sought to help Pan during their first meeting. The party would come to greatly appreciate his creativity with pacifistic magic.
During their adventure, Ryshard uncovered a secret society of Horologium worshippers who dealt in seeking out and protecting information lost to time. Figuring this could help him find his family, he set off with them for a period. When he returned, he was all the wiser for it.
In the end, Ryshard agreed to remain in the Convergence and help Pan, believing that they could do a lot of good using the tools the Convergence had to offer.
Nexus
In Nexus, Ryshard remains an impressive Wizard, but never lost their family. Instead, he lives happily with his wife in Nexus' Harmony Heights district and works in the city's largest public Library with his best friend, Pan. It's picturesque, aside from the occasional nightmare or Divinatory vision that show the uncomfortable reality of the situation. Now, however, on knowing the truth about this world, Ryshard knows he cannot let Pan suffer; not even for his own happiness.

Robe of the Scribe
The buttons for this robe are made of Instrumentum crystals. When activated, the robe produces an extra set of spectral arms that will copy a provided document or translate the document (provided the wearer has proficiency in both languages). This takes the same amount of time that it would take the user normally, but allows the wearer to perform other tasks while the robe records the information.Vivalandium
This wood wand has a colored end, an amber flower above the handle with a large leaf off it, and a small curved branch on the other side. This wand has four forms, each corresponding to a season, that changes its color and appearance. This wand has 3 charges that refresh at noon. As an action, you can expend 1 or 3 charges.With one charge, you can target one creature, plant, or 5x5 empty space within 60 feet that you can see, causing the target to assume a seasonal form of your choice; changing the wands seasonal appearance to match.
When expending all three charges, you target a point within 60 feet of you that you can see, causing everything within a 30 foot sphere of the target to assume a seasonal form of your choice. This effect lasts for 24 hours and does not change the age of anything affected. An unwilling target may make a DC13 Wisdom save to prevent being affected, and on a success is immune to the wand's magic for 24 hours.
