Al Hayik

While the humble Baku home of the man known as Al Hayik (“the Weaver”) escapes the notice of most, he is known to the world’s mystical community as the inheritor of a long line of masters of working magic literally into the very fibers of woven carpets and tapestries. Al Hayik is the title held by the current Master Weaver, a role that has passed down through family lines, although occasionally it has been passed by adoption and apprenticeship as well, when Allah willed it.
Al Hayik lives a simple life of study, prayer, and the practicing of his art, rarely turning out a finished work with magical properties. Indeed, most of his fine carpets and woven works are entirely mundane, although of the finest quality imaginable. His home is safeguarded by several rugs and carpets that act as magical wards and can even animate to serve and protect their master, and Al Hayik possesses at least one flying carpet as well. The mystic weaver was a good friend to Master Mage Adrian Eldrich (whose sanctum held several examples of his work).
