The known record

Who they are

A weathered elf dismissed as a drunken madman whose riddles keep becoming less funny after the world proves him right.

Griggs claims to remember things no living person should. Wild silver hair, milky eyes, and a constant smell of old whiskey make it easy for comfortable people to ignore him.

He wanders between taverns, the market, and the Arcane Sanctum muttering about the past that never was and the future that was stolen. His predictions are rarely clear in time to be useful, which appears to be one of the universe’s favorite jokes.

Known connections
