Court Mage of Ilithi. Host of vision discussion meetings.

Appearance

You see Philomath Miskton Ramahk, Seer of the Ilithi Court, a Human.
Miskton has an angular face, a smattering of wrinkles emphasizing thoughtful steel blue eyes and an aquiline nose. His dark brown hair is short and straight, and is worn loose. He has fair skin and a rangy build.
He is very tall for a Human.
He appears to be in his prime.
He has a sleekly groomed beard elegantly framing his face. A soft, glistening shine adorns the hairs.

He is wearing a slouched russet felt hat with a Xibar-blue lotusweave band, some round spectacles with silversteel wire frames, a rugged safari shirt made from chestnut-hued Velakan linen, a rugged taupe leather utility belt with a multitude of thornweave pouches, some heavy titanese work pants with leather knee patches and some mahogany-hued leather boots stitched with runelike symbols along the toes.

Vision Meetings

Taking over from Malzard, Miskton has been hosting meetings in Shard to discuss various visions of the future. They are currently held on a fairly regular basis, generally once per month.

Logs

• 438-08-21 (07/10/2021): Recap of trader issues with sunlight and "you do not have permission" cipher, possible demonic Srinoja, threats from maybe-Jeihrem with a crown of stars, some monsters like the ones from other visions fighting the folks in golden plate getting crushed, a man growing multiple hands and sinking into the floor, and a man playing a lyre interrupted by a discordant melody. Also a recap of some of the recent visions which seemed like they might be related to the Dark Hand.
• 439-02-01 (08/14/2021): A fish story that might also be a warning about biting off more than you can chew, a vision possibly about planar incursions and turning your back on danger, another "you do not have permission" vision, a man caged in darkness who might be the paladin Beren, and a child who can apparently casually impose their will on the world.
• 439-04-33 (09/11/2021): Shooting stars, which are pretty until they land on you, and might represent souls walking the Starry Road. Two quite different approaches to dealing with assailants. Beacons of light, a discussion of paladins, and reference to some of the older visions of the albino lion. The transformation of a caterpillar, possibly necromantic in origin, but sparking some discussion of Dragon Priests as well.
• 439-07-26 (10/9/2021): A review of visions in the aftermath of the Basalt Isle raid, a possible clue to communication with the custodians in Zengmodaleth, discussion of the man with a crown of antlers in the Forest of Night, a maze that might be part of a demonic plot, and a talking fish speaks about blood.
• 440-01-06 (11/13/2021): A greater than usual number of visions reviewed, thanks to the appearance of new visions shortly before the meeting. The rising of Andreshlew, what Srinoja and Sivroch might be up to, more dealings with the custodians of Zengmodaleth and a possible appearance by Daervlan, more potential happenings in the Dark Hand that seem like they might tie back to some previous ones, a return of the figures in gold plate and a trip into outer space (both of which could perhaps have deal with the Bulwark), and some sort of bloodletting ritual. In addition, some discussion of the visions relating to the Merelew that many people have been seeing.
