Professor Myrian Soldeva
Professor Myrian Soldeva
Title: Professor of Theoretical Thaumaturgy & Keeper of the Grand Orrery
Race: Human
Overview:
Professor Soldeva is a scholar of the fundamental forces of magic—why magic exists, how it interacts with reality, and whether its limits are truly limitless. She oversees the Grand Orrery, a massive model of Alar and its celestial bodies that moves in accordance with arcane forces. She is one of the Academy’s most enigmatic figures, and some suspect she has some knowledge about the First Spell.
Teaching Style:
- Abstract and enigmatic—asks students questions they aren’t yet ready to answer.
- Emphasizes philosophy over spellcasting—"Understand magic first. Wield it second."
- Has no tolerance for arrogance—believes wisdom, not power, defines a true mage.
Personal Quirks:
- Her lectures sometimes predict future magical discoveries, leaving students puzzled until they eventually come true.
- Has no recorded birth date, and older faculty swear she looks exactly the same as she did fifty years ago.
