Secret and Clues

• [ ] Cagoth-ze is a powerful wizard but completely obsessed with acquiring knowledge of the elves who used to be here. The elves managed to hide their lore not in a place, but in a time, and that steered Cagoth-ze into the twisted practice of Time Magic. It’s amazing he hasn’t torn himself into pieces spread over thousands of years practicing this type of heretical magic.
• [ ] One who possesses Cagoth-ze – Twister of Time’s ring and the instructions for recalibrating the time construct can set it randomly so it will almost never return back here again. It will pull the time ley lines but not here or now. It will never return in your lifetime and who knows where it ends up.
• [ ] Cagoth-ze – Twister of Time had Clara – Former Imortra the Debased – Former Disciple of Gellart build a summoning circle and summon Lasbascilag the Lesser Infernal Tutor. Immorta wants nothing to do with the devil (she knows how dangerous it is). Cagoth thinks he can control the devil to get valuable information.
• [ ] Cagoth-ze – Twister of Time has constructs traveling into the future to recover elven tomes hidden away in the future. They bring them back and attempt to copy them before those tomes disappear back to the future. It takes many runs on the same book to make a full copy. It’ll take years to get the whole library copied.
• [ ] When the elves realized the enormity of what this library represented, they cast an enchantment over the place to protect it. Their enchantment threw the library and its contents 100,000 years into the future. That distant age is far beyond the collapse of all predicted civilizations. The elves reasoned that even if the library were discovered to exist in that time, it’s unlikely anyone of that era could understand its contents; according to elven oracles, whatever creatures inhabit Midgard 100,000 years in the future will have a completely different understanding of the fundamental underpinnings of magical philosophy.
• [ ] Cagoth-ze – Twister of Time is in league with Clara – Former Imortra the Debased – Former Disciple of Gellart who speaks for Gellert the Gruesome – Heir to the Scarlet Citadel.
• [ ] Clara – Former Imortra the Debased – Former Disciple of Gellart travels between levels but mostly operates on the lower levels.
• [ ] The mages of Scarlet Citadel largely ignore levels 3 and 4. Level 3 is overtaken by trollkin and dire owlbears. Level 4 is overtaken by Derro and huge bats. These occupents know to give the mages and their followers free access or terrible things happen to them.
• [ ] There are other passages to the surface from the lower levels of the dungeon.
