	'''Elmetaph''' is an [[Elven\|Elf]] living in the Lighthouse on [[Anagoge Island]]. When he was known as '''Proctor Elmetaph,''' he operated an academy designed to test the magical capabilities of potential recruits for the Council. It seems possible the goal of school was to gather and identify Prodigies. While the school itself has been destroyed, both Elmetaph and some of his tests remain.

			:::::::::::Don't you curse at me, young (man/woman)! There's still a chance. Lots of students had their [[teleportation]] trials on this island, and they all brought spare [[amethyst]]s, so there's bound to be some hidden around somewhere.
