Lore & History
"How does it feel, brave vessel of songs? Take notes, little one, we are at epiphany's cusp!" - Orlick the Bicameral
In Life
When alive, Orlick the Bicameral was a fresh Prentice within the Order of the Pensives, during their College's establishment on the year of 776. While enrolled, Orlick would receive the rank of Sage, dreaming each night of the Aurem Canus' seal stamped upon a book of his own, earning its place within the Pensives' great library.
There, he discovered a tome in the Aurem Canus that contained the secret to extended life. Despite successfully using it to extend his lifespan, he added an unintentional fertility charm to the spell, creating the
Little Genius.
He presented his treatise, "Capricious Crops", to the Archsage for review. Another Sage, Rodrich, presented "The Forest's Vast Voices" during the same period. Sage Rodrich received the Aurem Canus' seal of approval, while Orlick's work was rejected for "unsupported claims."
After 128 years at the Collage, Orlick's secret is discovered by the Aftsage Proctor and he is thrown from top of the tower, to his death.
In death, Little Genius still sits upon Orlick's right shoulder, still whispering advice and council into his ear, often to Orlick's chagrin.
