Asterac

Asterac was a name found in a spellbook in the cave that seemed to belong to Salishea. The spellbook was taken by Trofim, though Gnogglebolt intended to return the items along with the spellbook.

Later, when Gnogglebolt overheard Max mention the name Salishea, he inquired about Asterac when he asked about Salishea. It seems that Asterac was actually a gnome, and one of the greatest storm mages of his time. Sadly, Asterac is long deceased, and though Gnogglebolt was still going to make sure that the spellbook goes back to Salishea, the book is being kept by Zairith while Gnogglebolt finds her to ask her what she wants done with it.
