The Lore of Archmagus Silas of the Event Horizon

Silas hails from the small island just to the northwest of Aldo’s Isle. Born to a pair of peasants in the employment of the local lord, Silas grew up as the faithful servant to the heir apparent of the town. The heir was lazy, and he forced Silas to complete the work for his studies under the town’s premier academic. The retired professor realized that the work was far too advanced to come from the dimwitted prince; the teacher soon discovered the brilliant Silas laboring over star charts and tidal patterns in the town’s library, and from thence on, Silas was taken under the old coot’s wing. Silas soon surpassed his master in understanding of navigational techniques, mathematics, physics, and astronomy, the most important realms of knowledge in the seafaring town. The teacher noticed this, and with the help of the local lord, sent Silas on scholarship to the University of Shifting Sands, the teacher’s alma mater. A small blue rat, indigenous to Silas' home, snuck on board the boat to the mainland; Silas kept the rat, as a reminder of home, and named him Orion. At Shifting Sands, Silas continued to study the stars alongside the Blue Wizards, eventually specializing in matter-impacting magic. Specifically, Silas became unparalleled in his mastery of shrinking and expanding matter, alongside his traditionally concentrated studies of astrophysics. Silas earned his nickname, of the Event Horizon, due to his fixation on black holes. Archmagus Silas is known to conduct some of the most dangerous experiments on campus, from his failed particle accelerator (responsible for at least two earthquakes) to his constant attempts to build a static black hole underneath the psychology building. At night, he looks to the stars. Silas has tried, more than once, to collapse a star in the sky into its own self, but has seemingly failed every time. But perhaps the implosion has simply not made it to Silas’ eyes?
