“A 'cracked' arcanist confined in Haven”

also known as Whin

Appearance§

Alder Whin is thin, with brown hair, and appears to be about thirty years old. He is found in Haven, the University's facility for the mentally broken, where his cracked mental state and strange speech are his defining traits.

Description§

Alder Whin is a former University arcanist whose mind cracked, leaving him confined in Haven, the University's asylum. He was once Elodin's giller, and after his breakdown he became unable to bear being under a roof or beneath the open sky, fearful of the open. Elodin visits him with courtesy and patience, entertaining his strange utterances and respecting his autonomy despite his fractured state. Whin stands among the figures associated with naming-induced madness, alongside Auri and Elodin himself.
