Baeralorn mixing up potions in his private quarters

Baeralorn is a Wood Elf necromancer who serves as castle mage in Anvil. He is an Associate of the Mages Guild, but is seldom seen at the local chapter, preferring to do his research in his private quarters in Anvil Castle, likely to avoid prosecution by the guild itself, which banned necromancy.

He spends most of his time in the private quarters of Anvil Castle, only venturing outside from 2pm to 5pm each day when he heads to the Anvil Mages Guild to meet Carahil. Between 8pm and midnight he attends the Countess' formal dinner. He then retires to his room, where he spends most of the night mixing potions and researching necromancy, finally sleeping from 6am to midday.

His garment is particularly noteworthy since he wear an enchanted robe of deflection, alongside the more common quilted shoes. He carries a medium amount of gold, a piece of alchemy apparatus, a bone, and a pair of shears. He also has a 75% chance of carrying various rare ingredients, such as glow dust. Baeralorn also carries three different keys: the Castle Anvil key, the Castle Anvil interior key, and his personal key. He doesn't wield any weapons, relying instead on a set of leveled necromancer spells for his attacks (always strongest for Baeralorn's skill level).

His room, which is locked, can be found in Anvil Castle Private Quarters, on the right when entering from the Great Hall. It contains a chest and a jewelry box, both of which are locked. The chest, which is opened by his personal key, contains the rare book N'Gasta! Kvata! Kvakis! and some scrolls, potions, ingredients, apparatus, soul gems, gold and jewelry. The jewelry box, which is hidden behind the bed, contains some leveled jewelry and gold. On display on a table is a full set of novice apparatus and a weak poison of silence.

Dialogue

The first time he meets you, he will introduce himself:

"I'm Baeralorn. Anvil's castle mage. Perhaps you've heard of my work on magical resistances."

When asked about Anvil, he will describe his work in detail:

"Our gracious Countess funds my research. I ward tame rats with resistance spells, then shower them with elemental attacks."

Notes

• Although this is never adressed in-game, Baeralorn appears to be an active practicioner of necromancy, despite him also being an active member of the Mages Guild, which strictly forbids its practice.
  • His main AI package he uses when in his quarters is called BaeralornNecromancy. He also carries a bone on his person.
  • His class is "Necromancer", and he is also a part of the "Necromancers Cult" faction, the only friendly NPC to have this distinction. He also knows leveled necromancer spells.
  • His private chest contains possible necromancer ingredients, as well as a tome associated with a famous necromancer.
  • Most notably, there is also an unused and unfinished cell called "Anvil Castle Caverns", which bears the intriguing internal name of AnvilCastleNecromancerLair. It's likely that this cell was meant to be related to Baeralorn, and that he was meant to play a bigger role of some kind.
