Background: Not much is know about Arthilios, The Wandering Mage of the Fell Wood. He is rarely sighted, and hardly spoken to. Then again, these days nobody questions a recluse, delusional old man in the middle of a forest.
There is one odd thing about him though. He seems to have a tail, that is to say someone follows him around. Whether unknown to the old man or not, he seems to pay it no mind and it appears more than happy to scorch anyone who comes too close. The figure is never seen fully, as its hood covers the face and a dark shroud surrounds the creature at all times. Those who have seen it assume it to be paid help, possibly a Gnomish, or perhaps Goblin Warlock.
