Hycanthus is the hermit wizard, his hut located in the Vashnar Mountains along the path to Dun Valley and the Aalen Forest. Keeping to himself for the most part, the wizard was found to be part of the enigmatic group, the Conclave, during the Reflection Incident. Later this same wizard was discovered to have been a member of the secret astronomical society connected to the events of the Eternal Night. The Thousandth Door remains as the legacy of his attempt to counter the plot of Tavarius.
