Imnif Alvarun, the Alchemist of Raven's Reach and the Seductions of Darkness

Galf L'nael had been working alongside her for 3 months within her spire upon Raven's Reach. His icy blue eyes, steady at his tasks, seemed to pierce into her soul. She questioned him occasionally about his experience, training and origins. He claimed to hail from the Vale of Faluri originally, but to have traveled far and wide in pursuit of knowledge. She had no reason to, but she suspected there was more to him than he appeared to be.

His insights had given her ideas that thrilled her and her already obsessed mind was singularly focused upon their work, however, after weeks of gentle prodding, he'd convinced her, by promise of a visit with an eminent alchemist, Alronc Galvar, in attendance, to travel down into the Vale for a masquerade ball at a friend's lavish estate.

Imnif was uncomfortable, but he introduced her around and danced with her, his confidence and charms melting her reluctance.
