Lore[]
No one would accuse Loremaster Semsanitnwona of not being a dutiful Drakken, but he was often considered so obsessive in his devotion to the preservation of Endless knowledge that he was accused of being neglectful of his other tasks. Spending entire days listening at the Whispering Galleries to the voices of days past, Semsa could recount great tracts of Drakken history at loremeets, but would often fail to be up to speed with current events.
Determined to learn more of the era of the Drakken's true birth, Semsa battled for long years to be granted a pilgrimage into faraway lands and places, only to be repeatedly refused by The Twelve. At the end of his patience, Semsa left his winged brethren, and now travels Auriga offering to govern anyone in exchange for access to their libraries and vaults.

If you play with ELCP there are some changes:
- "Friendly Banner" is available earlier on Level 2 (when it is actually useful).
- "Raptors Eye" moved to Level 3 and connects to "Narrative Master" and "Defender" in order to provide a better path towards "Inspirational Leader".
- "Cultural Ambassador" directly connects to "Narrative Master", "Cold Operator" and "Battlesaur", offering alternative skill paths for generals and governors.
