A close-mouthed, tolerant and respected
Mage of Hillsfar, Borustine avoided
politics in that city for most of his
career, but his very PRESENCE and
power lent to the city some social stabil-
ity amongst travelers and merchants
leery of elves and of the warlike men of
the Moonsea area alike. Borustine often
aided adventurers for reasonable fees,
but hewed to an oft-stated policy of not
undertaking offensive magicks to aid one
man or group against another. Borustine
preferred to spend his time upon
his magickal studies, being most interested
in guards, wards, and protective
fields, despite an adventurous and mercenary
past; in his youth, Borustine
rode with armies in Tethyr and
the South, and cast his glamours on
many a battlefield. More recently, he
stood on the rooftops of Hillsfar dockhouses
and battled a great attacking
dragon with his magic, in concert with
other Mages of the city; together they
SLEW it over the harbor, and brought it
down. Borustine has supported
Maalthiir's overthrow of the corrupt
Council and seizure of power; he has
given Maalthiir's reign much of its legiti-
macy and lasting power, and continues
to serve Maalthiir as advisor, and (occasionally)
a magical aide, when spells are
needed. Borustine lives in a tower on
the southern edge of Hillsfar, just inside
the city wall, near its easternmost corner,
within sight of the woods.
