Magister Nivalis

''Slender and poised this man would be handsome if not for the eerie air about him. From beneath the depths of his black hooded robes alert amber-gold eyes seem constantly on the look-out. A pale face is framed by a neatly trimmed black beard that comes to a slight point. At his shoulder is pinned a gold brooch depicting an open hand, palm-forward upon a wreath of thorns identifying the wearer as a senior magister of Thorn.'' Magister Nivalis arrived in Stagshelm in Gozran 4712AR disguised as one of the entourage of a noted Chelaxian composer who was performing in the Domain. When the Chelaxians left he remained behind to start a new life for himself away from the prejudices of his homeland.

Nivalis was recruited to the Magisters by Zirren and is one of the view to claim that honour. He spent most of his time studying with the former Warden of the Witchlight Spire and it came as no surprise that Nivalis was appointed as Zirren's replacement.

Nivalis is a quiet and guarded individual and his role as Warden, which some might find lonely, suits him perfectly. He is particularly drawn to Candlemere Isle's connection to other realms and he is constantly on the look out for signs of arcane disturbance about the mere. Structured and organised he keeps the Spire well tended to. His relationship with his fellow Magisters is professional, he is not well-loved but no-one has the nerve to challenge his appointment as Warden and none can find fault at how well he performs his role.

Nivalis has great respect for Arch-Magister Zirren and since spending most of his time on Candlemere has developed an admiration for the Grand Magister and her family.
