Cassian Albright

Arcane Advisor of Fort Leilon

Books remember. So I do not forget.

— Cassian Albright

Overview

Cassian Albright is the scholar in the shadow of power—a man who prefers ink to applause and strategy to spectacle. While Lord Darius Vexmoor commands the attention of nobles and merchants, Cassian listens, records, and subtly steers the currents of Fort Leilon’s fate.

His manners are flawless. His questions are surgical. His magic is rarely seen, but its effects ripple through every negotiation, ritual, and political decision in the region.

Where others speak to be heard, Cassian waits for silence. And when he speaks, those with sense take notes.

Presence & Persona

"There are forces we keep at bay not with swords, but with knowledge. And a little discretion."
• Polite, calm, and always precise in speech
• Appears aloof, but misses nothing
• Drawn to young minds with potential—often mentors without asking permission
• When frustrated, he turns pages faster, not louder

Locals Say...

• “He sees the world like it’s a puzzle—already half-solved.”
• “He speaks three languages and lies fluently in none.”
• “When Cassian goes quiet, the winds change in the tower.”

Known For

• Arcane theory and mythal resonance
• Subtle diplomacy with dangerous or extraplanar forces
• Publishing the Echoing Lighthouse Hypothesis, a theory linking Fort Leilon’s beacons to containment seals beyond the Prime. Cassian theorized that the lighthouses were once part of an ancient containment network—resonant anchors holding back a force that had already begun to fail. Their restoration may slow the collapse, not reverse it.

Rumored Weaknesses

• Said to carry a secret that predates the Spellplague
• Was witnessed arguing with a cloaked figure who vanished in the lighthouse ruins
• Despises the sound of bells—has removed them entirely from the tower
