Chronicler Eldric

Chronicler Eldric is a towering figure in the discipline of archival stability. While earlier Chroniclers may have indulged in flowery sagas, Eldric defined truth as chronological order and rigorous fact. His magnum opus, the definitive A History of the Abbey, serves as the blueprint for understanding dwarven civilization following the epoch of internal conflict. Eldric was profoundly affected by the chaos stemming from the Great Sundering and the ensuing Schism of Stone and Sky. He believed that only an ironclad, unemotional account of facts could protect the remaining knowledge. His greatest contribution was the meticulous cross-referencing of recovered fragments after the critical Vault Sealing, which provided the necessary data to anchor the Abbey's mission in reality. Eldric was known for his rigorous, almost monastic discipline; he often collaborated with the younger, more adventurous Archivist Garlin, seeking external validation for every entry. His key moment arrived when he decreed that sentiment must never be etched into the records, creating a universal standard for documentation that he symbolically affirmed with the placement of The Keeper's Seal. Through his tireless dedication, he transformed scattered records into an unshakeable foundation, ensuring that future generations would be guided by clarity rather than myth.
