History

Rufus was studying PWA1013: Antiquities of Cul'sir around the same time as an expedition to Xen'drik returned with several rare artifacts, amongst them a flat, jagged obsidian tablet. The Order of the Emerald Claw believed it to be a component in necromantic rituals and sought to steal it from the university. [1]

In order to accomplish this, Felicia Whiteglade —a secret member of the Order posing as a Seeker of the Blood of Vol —ordered the mage she was working with to give Rufus constant nightmares in order to have him seek her out. This caused Rufus to become sleep-deprived, making him struggle with his studies for days. To resolve this issue, Rufus took solace in Felicia's sermons during his midday walks. [1]

Nevertheless, the nightmares continued to the point that Rufus started to act erratically, causing his colleague Faeona to become worried about him. Rufus eventually came to believe that the tablet itself was causing these nightmares and so stole it from the University and took it to one of Felicia's sermons, planning to give it to the woman he had grown to trust.
