Finethir Shinebright

Sheep Finethir found his way into Phandalin where he jumped on Abrams and Eldes. They don't speak sheep so they failed to understand, but quickly Eldes realized the sheep is trying to communicate so he casted Speak With Animals using a scroll the sheep had in its mouth.

Finethir explained that his apprentice turned him into a sheep and tried to take over his work, Abrams and Eldes decided to help the sheep fight the apprentice and turn him back into a High elf.

They followed Finethir to Finethir's Home in the woods west of Phandalin, fought the apprentice and returned Finethir to his High elf form.

Finethir offered them a reward for all the trouble, a single request of any transmutation spell they wish to know, Eldes, asked Finethir to teach him Dragon's Breath. Finethir agreed and said it would take a tenday of practice to be taught. Eldes agreed and said that he'll come back in the future for the lessons.

Eldes Young came to collect the favor Finethir promised him, he asked that instead of a Trasmutation lesson Finethir will work for him at The Academy Land as a master of Trasmutation.

Finethir thought about it for a few moments, he did not want to teach some stupid students who don't even have the ability to grasp concepts as simple as poly-planal transweave theory.

But since the pay was so good, he agreed to take the job, thinking he could continue his research at peace with that amount of money.

Finethir starts working as a master of Transmutation in The Academy Land.
