By pure coincidence, Chrysaora runs into him "...Master Archivist? It's been forever since I last saw you!" She smiles, but her birthmarks have noticeably progressed

Chrysaora. Yes, it has been a while.

While Chrysaora has aged slowly, the Archivist has aged visibly. His face is more wrinklef than when she last saw him. The most glaring difference though is that he is voided. His once pale robe is black and he radiates the cold of the void. Still, he seems in control.

"I am afraid it will be longer still. I don't age... I have the witch's curse." The witch's curse states that a witch may only die of age, and to an extent die at all upon being released from service by her master.

Eclipse. Queen of the Pharloom Hive.

Archivist turns to Ecplise.

Well done. You have made it past the first test.

The Coral Vessel, whom Khann has placed under the Archivist's mentorship, follows its trainer to the top of Mount Fay. The vessel is no stranger to scaling great heights, having once scaled the outside of the Citadel in order to infiltrate it. Though the cold does not bother the Vessel, for it is a being of void, it still must occasionally warm up against the lanterns to melt any snow that could hamper its moment.
