Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura - Victor Misk

Victor Misk was a troubled scholar of Caladon, whose sudden and strange death set off one of Arcanum’s most intricate mysteries. Found drowned in his home just days after obtaining a rare copy of “Horror Among the Dark Elves,” he vanished from memory as quickly as he was found. Lillian Misk, his widow, spoke of how Victor had hidden the book “somewhere only he and his father knew”—a secret that would lead investigators across tombs, salons, and centuries of distrust.

Ancient clues buried in his grave eventually revealed the book’s importance. Beneath the earth, alongside Victor’s remains, lay the forbidden text—a key to Nasrudin’s final resting place and the gateway to T’sen-Ang. Unraveling this clue would send players from Caladon to crypts, through dusty archives, and into the heart of Arcanum’s ancient magic.

His fate is a reminder that even the quietest among us may carry the spark that ignites destinies—and that sometimes the dead write the story of the living.
