Scholar

As a child, you were inquisitive when your playmates were possessive or raucous. In your formative years, you found your way to one of Tamriel's great institutes of learning, where you were apprenticed and taught that knowledge is a more valuable treasure than gold or gems. Now you are ready to leave your home – not to abandon it, but to quest for new lore to add to its storehouse of knowledge. The most well-known of Tamriel's fonts of knowledge is the Acane University. The great library is always in need of workers and attendants, some of whom rise through the ranks to assume roles of greater responsibility and prominence. You might be one of University's own, dedicated to the curatorship of what is likely the most complete body of lore and history in all the world.   Perhaps instead you were taken in by the Moth Priests or the Vigil of Stendarr, and now you have struck out to increase your knowledge and to make yourself available to help those in other places who seek your expertise. You might be one of the few who aid Herald's Holdfast, helping to catalogue and maintain records of the information that arrives daily from across Faerûn.

Features

Professional Courtesty Though others must often endure extensive interviews and significant fees to gain access to even the most common archives in your library, you have free and easy access to the majority of the library, though it might also have repositories of lore that are too valuable, magical, or secret to permit anyone immediate access. You have a working knowledge of your order's personnel and bureaucracy, and you know how to navigate those connections with some ease.   Additionally, you are likely to gain preferential treatment at other libraries across the Realms, as professional courtesy shown to a fellow scholar.
