The Mad Mage of Sevendor
In The Mad Mage of Sevendor, Umank is a Karshak stonesinger whose memory inhabits Minalan's mind as one of the nine ghosts. When his memory is dominant, Minalan feels deep reverence for stone and minerals and is able to speak fluent Karshak. Umank's memories prove invaluable in the construction of the portal arches, the identification of arcane minerals, and the eventual creation of irionite. He was born in the lost Karshak city of Askeorast, and his memory helps Minalan locate a hidden entrance to that ancient underground city in the Uwarris mountains behind Sevendor. His industrious nature inspires productive working days whenever he dominates.
