Arcanist Sahir: an Introduction

Greetings, curious reader! My name is Arcanist Sahir of the Keep. I once held a prestigious position at Big Potion Corp. (BPC). Senior Executive Assistant. The perks were delectable, let alone the hefty paychecks. Believe me, the salaries are even larger than the egos. However, it all went awry when I started speaking up about the compromised ethics of BPC's business practices. What a fool I was.

Before I knew it, I was in my boss's office unsuccessfully trying to look stoic while nervously adjusting my azure vest. Breathe, Sahir, breathe! Just get through this long-winded lecture on "profit over all." What a slogan.

"Sahir, didn't the Arcanum of the Sacred Pillars teach you anything?" inquired the Executive Director in a disinterested tone.

"Why, yes sir. I even made it to Division III Wizardry in the Magical Business Sphere," I defended. The Executive Director paid no mind to the reply. The silence began to feed on my anxiety, growing larger with each passing second.

"As of this moment, you are no longer a part of the BPC family. You may clear out your office and leave the premises within the hour, or be escorted out by the kobolds," stated the Executive Director with a cold stare. "In addition, the locks to your company suite will be changed before the start of next week. I suggest you vacate in haste."

I bit my cheek to prevent a laugh. What family? After 4 years at this company, I knew pleading my case to be a futile act. Although stunned, I resolutely marched out of the building, leaving my office and the personal belongings it contained behind.

Where to now? With company lodgings restricted, I decided that I should embrace my inner nomadic spirit and simply roam. In truth, that longing for adventure was always there but ever suppressed by a demanding academic path. I made the short trip to my suite, well, former suite, and grabbed only one item: my new travel companion. The ash wood peace staff that was a gift from leading negotiations in an acquisition.

I am currently exploring the lands. Well, as far as my savings will take me that is. The only consolation to all of this is that BPC never removed my security clearance to the corporate headquarters! I know it's petty, but I take small joy in periodically returning there to stock up on free snacks from the executive lounge. It's the small things in life.
