Remoulded of the Void · “Of All Thought”

Vi'Lor Vethilex

In exile since the collapse of the Tyberian Empire. Summoned by the Caronians, he escaped their binding and fled. He returned to Melcaron College at the founding of the Tyberian Empire and rose to be a prominent Archmagister. He is famed for an immortality serum that does not exist, of which the truthful account is the shortest in the record: "it's just being Remoulded."

Then the extraordinary part, unique in the whole record: he "removed the Void from himself, becoming a pure Fulatari," and with the void gone he could take up astral magic and became a powerful mage. He is the proof that the class is not a sentence.

Body

He is also the only Remoulded who cannot remember what he was a fragment of, and he has come to understand that the two facts are one fact: taking the void out of himself took the thread back to his Prince with it.

What else it took is worth setting down, since he is the only one who can report it. The filter no longer grinds at him, so he does not rot, and he can sit in a sunlit window. And he lost the provenance sense entirely, so that he now learns the way everybody else learns, by asking and by reading, which he says took him ninety years to get any good at. Every other member of this class navigates the world by smelling where a thing has been and who has handled it. He alone has had to be taught.

Society

He keeps a library in the Tower of Karthus at Aegaria, reads, and smokes Olaean Leaf, "a decadent import from Qi'nor." He will answer any question that can be afforded.

His price is never coin and never memory, because he thinks the Coven's price crude. He asks for a question in return, and he keeps the answers, and the library at Karthus is largely made of them. Set beside the Coven's admittance rite, which takes a year out of the middle of a visitor's life and gives back one true thing about them, it is a gentler trade and a more productive one.

Regard

The serum was sold at great price for centuries and was never anything. It is the one Remoulded product with a trade behind it, and the trade was selling a condition rather than a substance.

What the Coven thinks of him is not recorded. He holds no den, takes no domain, and is the one member of the class who has demonstrably reduced himself and is content.
