So, I was replaying a quest in Deshaan—the Shad Astula Academy of Magic quest—and there, we meet three NPCs whom we help get into the Academy at the Arch-Mage's request.

What really intrigued me was reading one of the Arch-Mage's journals, where he talks about his visions and mentions these three characters. This particular part especially caught my attention:



"The final vision concerned Lena Dalvel, and it was the most confusing of the three. Her lineage contains almost no magical heritage. In fact, I'm not sure how she got an invitation to our school—perhaps a House noble recognized her talent? Her vision is the most promising—and the most frightening. Lena stands on a balance that could easily tip toward the darkness or the light, two possible paths for her to walk. One path shows her as a great leader of the people, serving in a coming time of troubles. The other path shows her involvement in the destruction of the world. This particular vision disturbs me greatly, and it must not be allowed to come to pass. She must finish her trials under my guidance. It's imperative that her proper destiny be fulfilled."



I know Lena Dalvel is a character who only appeared briefly, but I found the perspective of her vision really interesting. The last update we have on her is in Vvardenfell, where we can find records in Balmora showing that she has already graduated from the Academy and is now part of the Redoran Investigation Commission...

What about you? Are there any other characters from the base game you'd like to see again that could make for a good story hook?
