== While reading through the books in Elmetaph's quest: ==room, the player will learn the basics in [[Alchemy]].
Next== Conversations =={{Quote |:I remember you! (Player's name, Elmetaph will direct the player garbled), right? Come back to cast "bind circle" on tour the teleportation circleold grounds? Well, which is the one on the southern beach island's not in good shape anymore. I don't think you'll enjoy your visit.:'''You know me?''':'Course I do! I never forget a face. You were younger back then. But I guess that's how time works. Anyway, if you came for a visit, I'm afraid there's not much left.::'''I don't remember any of this. My memories are gone!'''::Aw, another person got mind-wiped? Those damned hags have dumped a dozen or so here in the islandpast year.No idea why!
After casting bind circle::Most of 'em got killed within an hour or so of arriving. But then, they weren't old students of mine. You remember any of my lessons?:::'''No, I don't remember you or anything about this place, the player will return to ElmetaphI'm afraid.''':::Well, who is shocked that the playershit. Then you's soul re not going to survive long here. The place is overrun with creepy crawlies now bound to the island, since no students come for their battle tests anymore. He offers the player the chance ::::'''Students used to change their bind locationcome here?'''::::Well it's a state secret, but only if they give him the coordinates found on the four obelisksyou used to have authorization, so I guess you still do, technically...
After giving Elmetaph ::::There as a school for ... gifted people, a while back. Run by the correct coordinates, [[The_Council|Council]]. They were looking for the player can now use "recall circle" best and brightest to exit the islandbecome master warriors, battle-mages, thaumaturges, and ultra heroic blah blah blah.</spoiler>
== Coordinates: ==<spoiler>6918</spoiler>:::This island was part of their final exam. Students had to show competence in a bunch of different skills here. Only a few graduated, and some were killed here. It's a dangerous place.
== Dialogue ==:::::When the school closed I moved here because... well, that's my own damn business.::::::'''I have another question.'''::::::Sure, (garbled version of players name), what else is on your mind?:::::::'''Students used to come here?''':::::::Well, it's a state secret... (see above):::::::'''Is there a way off this island?''':::::::Well, you could swim, hehe... no, don't look hopeful, that was a joke! The sea's full of sharks and horrible beasts. An elven friend comes to visit me every year or so. You could get a ride back with her. Shouldn't be more than six or eight months wait.::::::::'''That's too long. Is there any other way?'''::::::::If you still had your magic training, you could [[Teleportation|teleport]], I suppose...:::::::::'''Can you teach me how to teleport?''':::::::::You were a fast learner before, so I guess I could try to teach you again. But it took you weeks to master it, and that's after you'd been studying the basics of magic for quite a while. Hopefully some remnant of that training is still in your head somewhere. We can give it a shot and see...::::::::::'''Great! How do we begin?'''::::::::::Well, first you'll need an [[amethyst]] as a catalyst. And I'm fresh out of gems.:::::::::::'''Shit.''':::::::::::Don't you curse at me, young (man/woman)! There's still a chance. Lots of students had their [[teleportation]] trials on this island, and they all brought spare [[amethyst]]s, so there's bound to be some hidden around somewhere.::::::::::::'''So I should find an amethyst and come back?''' (Begins the quest [[Find an Amethyst]].)::::::::::::Yup. Come back with an [[amethyst]] and I'll teach you the basics of [[teleportation]]. Try searching around the old teleportation platforms for misplaced gem bags. If that doesn't work, well, there could be [[amethyst]]s anywhere on the island, really.:::::::'''Can I read your books?''':::::::Well of course, just don't run off with them. They're very old and valuable... well, they're not very valuable anymore. I retrieved them from the basement of the university when I left. They weren't in good shape when I found them, and this sea air isn't doing them any favors. But still, they're more valuable than most of the junk on the island.}}

He is the former When he was known as '''Proctor of some kind of Elmetaph,''' he operated an academy that made use designed to test the magical capabilities of potential recruits for the Council. It seems possible the island previously goal of school was to "test" their studentsgather and identify Prodigies. While the school itself has been destroyed, both Elmetaph and some of his tests remain.
Elmetaph will teach players teleportation so that they can escape from the island. He also has a habit of mispronouncing the player's name, implying a familiar but not-too-familiar recollection, as if the player was once a student.
==Location==; [[Anagoge Island]]: Lighthouse in the Northwest.== Quests ==<spoilerdpl>First, category = Quests/Elmetaph will teach the player "The secrets of teleportation" if they have amethysts in their possession. The amethysts can be found in several different placesmode = unorderedcolumns = 1include = #Prerequisites, but once a player picks up amethysts, new spawns are no longer available to that player. So far, amethysts have been found in bags near the teleportation circles, both the broken one on the north shore and the functional one on the south shore.#Requirements</dpl>
