I remember you talking on and on about your special friend. I got the impression it was quite serious. But that was back in your academy days.
Hm, would that have been a boy or a girl, do you think?
;I suppose it would have been a boyfriend...
;I suppose it would have been a girlfriend...
;I'm an Elf, so it could have been anybody, really... [ Only if player is an Elf ]
If you want to find them, you should make your way to [[Statehelm]]. That's a long way from here, but it's where the Council record-keepers are. They might be able to help you.

I remember you! Come back to tour the old grounds? Well, the island's not in good shape anymore. I don't think you'll enjoy your visit.

'''Elmetaph''' is an [[Elven|Elf]] living in the Lighthouse on [[Anagoge Island]]. When he was known as '''Proctor Elmetaph,''' he operated an academy designed to test the magical capabilities of potential recruits for the Council. It seems possible the goal of school was to gather and identify Prodigies. While the school itself has been destroyed, both Elmetaph and some of his tests remain.
