Magnath Foral

Magnath Foral is the Heritor and resident host of the Caravansery of Elkhazg, an ancient Cartasian complex famed for geometric tilings and book-copying. He introduces himself in cultured Orth and serves as a courteous, discreet facilitator for visitors moving under Sæcular protection.

First known appearance and context

After a military-arranged arrival at Elkhazg, Magnath Foral greets the party in a shaded courtyard and offers a concise account of the complex’s origins: a Cartasian math that spun off a caravanserai and ferry, prospering by copying books, scrolls, and even geometric designs from passing trade. He assigns simple cells in the Old Cloister and, with a small staff, maintains the largely empty complex as a quiet, secure host site.

Role and actions

• Acts as proprietor-host of the caravansery, coordinating lodging and privacy for the visiting group.
• Explains Elkhazg’s long tradition in plane geometry and tilings, and its transition from math to privately maintained caravanserai.
• Observes work in the Decagon courtyard dedicated to tiling; when a new complete Teglon solution is laid, he notes it is the fourth on record at that site and wryly remarks there is no haste to bake a new set of tiles.

Affiliations and relationships

• Holds the title of Heritor, indicating stewardship of a dowment tied to the caravansery’s operation.
• Shares a family name with the Foral lineage; any specific relation is unstated. See Forals and Ignetha Foral for broader context on the name.
• Oversees and resides at the caravansery alongside a liaison partner and a custodial staff.

Description

An older man of polished manner who speaks cultured Orth. His appearance suggests origins in a different region than most locals of the surrounding city. He carries himself with reserve and understated humor.

Current status

In residence at the Caravansery of Elkhazg, functioning as Heritor and host. The complex is kept sparsely populated—previous casual visitors were asked to depart—while select guests train and prepare in its courtyards.
