The great mage understands how true power lies in a perfect balance between knowing much—and revealing little. Keeping his enemies at a distance through a mix of spellcasting and strategy, few ever have the chance to gaze upon their slayer

Once a Nexi of the Conclave, long was Polinore's fall from grace. Very little is known about the mage's past or intentions, but tales reverberate about the day he met his Relic. Journeying forth towards the Malediction with apprentices and levied resources, Polinore would come back wielding the Runefold Gauntlet, with no shadow at his side but his own

After his rising as Seeker, seizing the opportunity after his former master's untimely demise, Polinore made himself the obvious successor for Keeper of the Oracle—those entrusted with the duty of overseeing everything related to the Conclave's most precious Relic. This, however, came at a cost: the power-hungry eyes of his peers loomed over his prestigious role, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. When Londriel, Polinore's pupil, stepped forth to denounce the corruption of the Conclave, they found their opportunity

The Conclave, too mystery-clad to allow their secrets to be brought to light, sent both pupil and master to court. Londriel was accused of heresy and treason, while Polinore faced a conundrum of accusations, such as corrupting the youth, and nonconformism. Polinore could easily defend himself from most accusations, but those regarding Londriel threatened to kindle even further his accusers' anger, putting him, and his former apprentice, in grave danger. Shocking all, Polinore remained silent. To the court, it was an admission of guilt

Polinore was stripped of his rank as Nexi, receiving, in its place, the role of Archivist of the Tabernacle of Knowledge. This far-off Conclave settlement regulates the entry, and distribution, of every artifact recovered from the Malediction. There, away from Quinvala, he would no longer be a nuisance. However, to his peers’ surprise, this banishment of sorts seems to have been the mage's plan all along. As near to the Malediction as the Conclave lands allow one to be, Polinore has control over the Relics retrieved, as well as to whose hands shall receive them. Taking his time to venture into the storm of chaos himself, always returning more powerful than before, those who connived his downfall are left wondering who truly pulls the strings
