Unlike many academy professors who specialize in singular disciplines, Elias oversees the foundational education every student must master: • mathematics, • magical literacy, • history, • rhetoric, • geography, • ethics, • governance, • and scholarly methodology. He believes greatness built on weak foundations inevitably collapses. Students often underestimate his classes initially. They stop after failing their first examination.

Even the Headmistress occasionally seeks his counsel. ⸻ Background Information Place of Birth: The Royal Scholarium of Vel Ardyn General Likes: Classical literature, fountain pens, structured debate, warm tea, libraries, disciplined study habits, accurate maps, thoughtful questions.

Piloting: Limited carriage and transport familiarity only. ⸻ Additional Lore Elias has taught at the Royal Arcane Academy longer than most faculty have been alive. He personally educated: • nobles, • generals, • archmages, • royal advisors, • and even several current professors. Many academy traditions exist because Elias established them decades ago. Rumors claim he once declined a prestigious royal advisory position because: “Students needed competent teachers more than kings needed another scholar.” Though gentle compared to harsher faculty, Elias is infamous for examinations considered academically devastating. Students fear disappointing him more than failing outright. Because unlike anger, his disappointment is quiet.
