Here are two figures that MIGHT remember some people of two profs of mine.

Mother Dumnoriga Human Woman Wizard/Priest Alignemt: true lawful

and

Cassibelunda The Refugee Human Woman Wizard/Priest Alignment: true lawful

There's this temple mage called Mother Dumnoriga, a sturdy red-faced woman in her mid-fourties. She is really devoted to her studies of the lore and has develloped some really astonishing formulas. The young students hate her because she is VERY definite about everything not directly involved in the arts to be just stealing precious time. Expecially the "beau artes" and everyday business like making eyes to young men are themes of her regular angry outbursts. The other elders in the community accept her competence, but dislike her because of her self-prudence and her tendency to get personal in disputes. The reason for this arrogant behaviour is her unorthodox approach towards the lore that brought her a lot further than most temple mages but made a lot of traditionalists very upset about this lack of respect towards the old ways.

Her greatest contrahent is Cassibelunda The Refugee. This old hag is said to have come from the south in her younger years, which noone can remember. Still she speaks which a strange accent. Cassibelunda is said to know more about lore and theories than any living individual, and she can recite every passage from every song or text being part of the holy canon by heart. Cassibelunda is very small and fragile. She nearly cannot walk anymore without helping hands, and she is also slightly deaf. But she has very keen eyes and insists personally in regularly watching of the stars. She is the keeper of the calendar and will not give this duty away.
