Aäthis Rohethar

Aäthis Rohethar is a scholar of the first rank in the history department at the University of Amalo.

Appearance
When Thara Celehar first saw Aäthis, he had “a narrow, rabbity face and eyes of a color somewhere between green and blue. He wore his hair in the two long scholar’s braids, plaited with red ribbons to show he was a scholar of the first rank, and he had gold rings with red beads in his ears. He was not wearing his robe, which was lying on a pile of books beside the desk, but wore a respectable tea-green frock coat. His silver scholar’s key was well-polished.” His face was flushed from borlaän, a chronic illness. He used a pair of walking sticks to walk.

Personality
Aäthis called himself awkward, and was curious and bright, and ready to argue with Lisava Ormevar as needed.

Life
Aäthis contracted borlaän when he was a child, which gave him a chronic illness and physical disability.

Aäthis worked at the University and his office was located in Mavelar House. His office was full of books.

Aäthis' focus of study was "the dissolution of the Anmureise mysteries", and due to his illness and disability and a lack of accessible infrastructure, he couldn't travel to the Hill of Werewolves for further investigation, so he sent a request for Thara to visit the University to speak with him about Thara's trip there during the latter's trial by ordeal. Thara sent a reply that he promised to visit when he was free.

After discovering the Tomb of Hasthemis Brulnemar inside of the Hill of Werewolves, Ulthora Csathamar said he wanted to speak to a scholar of the period, and Thara suggested Aäthis. Thara, Velhiro Tomasaran, and Ulthora went to the University to consult with Aäthis. After explaining that they needed to bring a scholar to the tomb to investigate, Aäthis noted that the tomb was non-accessible, and he would have to suggest someone else for the task, though it obviously pained him to miss out on the opportunity. He suggested his colleague, Lisava Ormevar, and introduced them.

Lisava agreed to go with Thara, Velhiro, and Ulthora, and apologized to Aäthis for his not being able to go, but promised to tell him about it later.

Thara later visited Aäthis to talk about the ghosts of the Hill of Werewolves, which excited Aäthis. During the discussion, Lisava arrived to announce that Orchenis Clunethar would allow the University to study it, and Aäthis and Lisava discussed the technicalities of safeguarding the Tomb. Lisava noted he needed to visit his friend at the municipal library about protecting the books in the Tomb, promised he'd see Aäthis at dinner, and left.

Skills
Aäthis was very knowledgeable about the reign of the Warlord Tobaris Clunethar.

Lisava Ormevar
Aäthis and Lisava are colleagues and seem to have a close and friendly relationship. The two appear to argue often about their scholarship.

Thara Celehar
Aäthis and Thara got along well, and Aäthis was overjoyed about hearing from him about his experiences at the Hill of Werewolves.

Trivia

 * Lisava's office was set up with a chair near the door with a walking stick stand, likely for Aäthis.
