Chronicler Firandil

Chronicler Firandil is a High Elf lamp knight of the Mages Guild who can be found in the Scholarium after the completion of The Second Era of Scribing. He is a vendor who sells the grimoires and scripts used in scribing.

He carries a rotating stock of scripts that changes every Tuesday (his scripts may be purchased for gold; a different selection of scripts is offered each week by Filer Ool in the Infinite Archive, which may be purchased with Archival Fortunes).

In annotations to the text by Vanus Galerion in a handbill entitled The Largesse of the Archmagister, which appears on a table in The Scholarium, Firandil complains that he did all the work involved in creating the nine scripts made available for free at Mages Guilds, though Archmagister Galerion has claimed all the credit.

Caal, an Achievement Furnisher, can be found next to him.

Dialogue

"Ah, hello! Always happy to see your countenance bless these hallowed halls. What do you need?"

"Chroniclers in the Mages Guild have a policy of neutrality. I'll happily sell to anyone, as long as the price is right."

"As a veteran of the guild with a penchant for the identification and illumination of ancient secrets, a little advice. The cute little coffers carved with inscrutable runes? Never worth the next-day headaches.
Sorry. You came to shop. Take a look."

"Have you scribed that perfect skill yet? Spilled ink to perfect your favorite spell?
Let's see, maybe I can help."

"Scripts and grimoires. I have them, and you can too, if the price is right. Care to take a look?"

"You'd be amazed at the wonders I've found within these walls. One thing I've learned so far? Everything is connected to that altar. Everything.
Including my wares."

"Ancient, stinks like dusty tomes. The Scholarium is my favorite kind of work environment.
Who knows what I'll find, and sell to you?"

"You know, I once acted as a Chronicler for Vanus Galerion himself! A very important service role at a limited-time event with incredibly prestigious patrons.
Not important right now. How can I help you today?"

"The key when shopping is never to have your heart set on just one thing. I offer so many treasures, so many secrets.
I mean how can you choose just one? Take a look."

"I'm glad I'm here, these adepts can barely look out for themselves without someone with a little experience to guide them. Eh?
Not your problem, what can I get you?"

"Impress your friends, scribe something new! Bring it with you to your next dungeon, or battleground, or whatever it is you do."

"I live by that old saying: idle gold doesn't do anyone any good.
Put yours to work with some scripts or grimoires!"

"Apologies for my poor demeanor today. Sometimes the mystical properties of the Scholarium result in … well. My hair looks terrible right now!
Not your problem, of course. How can I help you?"

"My accommodations here are somewhat less … prestigious than I'm used to. But it's worth it, to ensure you're adequately supplied in the pursuit of Scribing."

"I've just come back from another expedition searching for scripts, seeking out secrets. I am quite frankly exhausted.
And yet somehow I am still here. Ready and willing to sell you these precious materials."

"You come around the corner. You see old Firandil and you know. You just know I have something good for you today.
Let's see if I'm right! Hah!"

"If you're looking for something and don't see it, just be patient. If you please. What I have available changes with the whims of the adepts. Whims, I say!
In the meantime, here's what I do have."

The Wing of the Indrik

As you arrive back to the Scholarium after finishing the task for the Indrik:

Votary Nahlia: "There you are! I wanted to introduce you. This is Chronicler Firandil."

Chronicler Firandil: "Good to meet you. Nahlia and I have been touring the library and I've already found … well. Some terribly surprising things!"

Votary Nahlia: "Firandil is a chronicler, one of the best the guild has to offer. You two talk a moment, and then we can discuss what comes next."

You can talk to him: Start of conversation with Chronicler Firandil:

"Chronicler Firandil at your service. Chronicler of tomes, scrolls, scripts, and otherworldly delights!
I'm glad that I was able to make the trip. I think you'll find my skills quite valuable on this most unexpected expedition."

What is your role here?

"I've been tasked with facilitating this lost art form you've rediscovered. Scribing, how novel!
As I understand it, you will be contacting and convincing these Luminary creatures, empowering the altar and all that."

How will you facilitate Scribing?

"I'll scour the complex for grimoires and scripts. I've already found quite a few, aided perhaps by that. What's his name, Indrik chap?
I've never been led by a fawn to a trove of ancient secrets before. But it was an exciting experience!"

Thanks, Chronicler.

Start of conversation with Chronicler Firandil:

"Don't worry, I will do my very very best to ensure I have what you're looking for. I take my role as Chronicler for this expedition quite seriously!"

I have a few questions for you.

"But of course you do! Ask away, my new friend. Happy to help in any way I can."

The Indrik helped you find supplies?

"I believe so, yes. I have a good imagination, you can ask anyone.
But I can think of few other reasons for an indrik fawn to be traipsing about the depths of an ancient library carved from a Summerset island."

I wonder if the other Luminaries will help you find scripts and grimoires.

"I most certainly hope so! This place is massive, and any assistance they might put forward would be deeply appreciated.
You can tell them that Chronicler Firandil said so, when you speak to them."

What does a Chronicler do, exactly?

"In the great Mages Guild hierarchy it's a bit of an informal title.
It's passed around by a few adepts, like myself, with a penchant for the identification and illumination of ancient secrets."

You're selling things, though. Is Chronicler a fancy title for a clerk?

"Isn't it beautiful down here? Just exquisite chisel work on the walls. When the Votary here described this place …. Well!
I just had to come along. And I'm so very glad I did."

Before you turn in the quest:

"This place is fascinating. Simply fascinating!
I'll be just a moment, adventurer. I'm still getting set up."

The Wing of the Netch

As Nahlia speaks to the Netch, multiple squirrel projections will appear and head to the East Wing.

Votary Nahlia: "Oh Great and Glorious Netch! Your cleverness exceeds us. We beseech your aid in finding your true fable. Guide us to your netchy bosom. Make our lofty dreams come true!"

Votary Nahlia: "I think it worked!"

Votary Nahlia: "Quick, follow them!"

Chronicler Firandil: "Oh, good heavens! I say!"
