Maealij

Maealij was a dragonborn scholar who was under the influence of a magical hole.

Stealing Magic Items and Studying the Hole
Maelij was obsessed with a strange magical hole which he described as "all knowledge that had been forgotten." For reasons unknown he stole several powerful artifacts from shops in Mayitlahab to "feed" to the hole.

Death
The theft of powerful magic items from shops in their city attracted the attention of the Council of Mayitlahab, who hired The Absent to investigate. The adventures tracked Maelij to the ruins outside Mayitlahab, where they encountered both the dragonborn and the magical hole. The hole attacked the adventurers, who destroyed it, though not without losses. Maealij perished when the magical anomaly was destroyed.
