Arlstrom Lind

'''Storm Giant Professor at Venac University (mid-level arcane caster)'''

Regarded by many as the smartest mortal alive, 500 year old Lind is the University of Venac’s most well known ‘visiting professor’. While she dwells most of the time in a remote area of the Dargallan Range in what is described as the most wondrous castle ever built (though almost no one else has actually seen it) on her irregular visits to Venac she is given free reign of the university. Classes in other subjects are cancelled and students are instead sent to see lectures she delivers on whatever subject pops into her powerful and unpredictable mind, from highly mathematical treatises on meteorology to anecdotes about goblin scamps she encountered three centuries ago.

Most of the faculty of the university lap up what she has to say, with other professors taking extensive notes and interpreting and re-delivering what she has to say in detail as part of their own teaching in the months or years between visits. Lind herself seems motivated entirely by the love of sharing knowledge and the adoration she receives for doing it.
