Both Nyavene al’Meer and Eniara Kisharad are leaving their Historian positions after long service. With many thanks to the two of them for everything they’ve done in and for this Department, I’m now searching for their replacements as Tower Historian and Events Historian.

Its duties are to gather details on Official Events and make sure that they are recorded in our Library. The Events Historian reports to the Director of Research and Records.
