Agent of the Ninth Quill

Your sharp mind and keen burgling skills led you to fall in with the Ninth Quill, a collective of thieves, saboteurs, and spies who steal magical lore and relics from others. Through your escapades—from purloining magic items and arcane tomes to sabotaging groups of mages—you've developed cunning skills and magical tricks to further your spy craft.
