Description
The largest magic academy near Sandpoint is Korvosa's Acadamae, where the staff and students summon countless devils and other horrors from beyond this world each year. Like most universities, the Acadamae is rife with intense academic rivalries, and sometimes the rivalries can escalate with lethal consequences. Linna Montrovale, an instructor and faithful worshipper of Desna, recently decided that the increasing friction between her and another instructor was growing too volatile to manage, given her advanced age.
Concerned with her security, she seeks to sell an ancient spellbook to the Pathfinder Society and make her escape from Korvosa with other sensitive documents tied to her research. The spellbook is titled the Azlanti Apprentice's Codex, a book of 1st-level spells and notes. What makes the tome valuable is that many believe it was penned by an apprentice of Aroden before he rose to godhood thousands of years ago. While the veracity of the book's origin remains unconfirmed, the arcane spells within are worth investigation by the Pathfinder Society, and perhaps the diviners in the organization can determine the book's true nature.
