Yvelde has such a pretty character design! How did they meet their patron? What's the Keeper of the Deep like?

HI SORRY FOR ONLY NOW GETTING TO THIS ASK AAAAAAAAAAA

Ok firstly, tysm!! Yvelde's design has gone through a few iterations and is def gonna get an outfit update at a suitable moment in the campaign (maybe when we Finally Head to her home city for a bit,,,, mm.) Enjoy this sketch of Yvelde casting shatter and the answer under the cut :)))

Yvelde is a researcher, who specializes in the occult, arcane and supernatural. They didn't get a lot opportunities to actually practice magic, so they settled for doing the next best thing - studying magical theory, essentially.

And then Yvelde lived in almost complete isolation in a lighthouse for a year or so! Definitely a very healthy and normal thing to do :).

And it's during that time that Yvelde uncovered an old manuscript talking about something referred to as the Keeper, and naturally decided "sure, why not" and actually went through with the process of making contact with it.

Yvelde is the first living being the Keeper of the Depths has communicated with in millennia. Their pact (at least, to Yvelde's knowledge) is rather simple - Yvelde gains immense knowledge thanks to the Keeper, skills and abilities to make him an even better information gatherer and researcher. In return, Yvelde is meant to do two things. Firstly, once in a while Yvelde actually sleeps for once (Aspect of the Moon invocation babeyy), descending into their dreams and meeting with the Keeper in its domain. There, Yvelde can gain information by asking it questions, and the Keeper more than often can assist.

(I feel like the Keeper benefits from this as well, considering that Yvelde is still the only person it seems to communicate with and it seems to really value Yvelde's company; maybe even to the point of withholding information to keep them coming back.)

The second thing is a more long-term request - the Keeper would do anything to see the stars of the material plane once again. And Yvelde must do everything in their knowledge and power to assist with that.

Yvelde and the Keeper have a much more friendly and amicable relationship than a lot of other warlocks might have. Yvelde often refers to it as her "work associate & colleague", but in reality the Keeper is probably one of the closest friends Yvelde has (not that Yvelde would ever admit that). The Keeper has actively referred to Yvelde as it's friend, but Yvelde gets really awkward about that kind of stuff.

However last session, the Keeper actively withheld information from Yvelde because it considered it a too dangerous path to travel, which Yvelde was not pleased with and actively said that they would still pursue that information if it suits them (hence them going into wizard next level >:}). So their relationship can change rather drastically, depending on how the cards fall...
