Gelmarus of Stag

Gelmarus was an ancient philosopher, scholar and scientist. His writings cover many subjects – including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theater, music, rhetoric, linguistics, politics and government – and constitute the first comprehensive system of philosophy.

He believed all peoples' concepts and all of their knowledge was ultimately based on perception. Gelmarus' views on natural sciences represent the groundwork underlying many of his works.

Gelmarus' views on physical science profoundly shaped scholarship. Their influence extended into the fourth era and has never been replaced. Some of Gelamrus' zoological observations were not confirmed or refuted however.undefinedHis works contain the earliest known formal study of logic.

All aspects of Gelmarus' philosophy continue to be the object of active academic study today. Though Gelmarus wrote many elegant treatises and dialogues it is thought that only around a third of his original output has survived to date.

Gelmarus is also one of the many authors of the "Great Tome of Magics" along with A'teoz, Nelthro Kanir and Elmaythia Blackcloak.

Life
Gelmarus, whose name means "Eternal Seer", was born in Stag. His father was the personal physician to King Merthn of Neilosan. Although there is little information on Gelmarus's childhood, he probably spent some time within the Neilosanian palace, making his first connections with the Neilosanian monarchy.

At about the age of one hundred, Gelmarus moved to Amekil to continue his education at Reznik's Academy. He remained there for nearly sixty years before leaving Amekil. Eventually he found his way to A'teoz who taught him multiple magical rituals which were later written down in a large tome, this tome was entruested to him until he entruested it to Elmaythia Blackcloak who took it to learn all she coudl from it. The book found it's way to  Nelthro Kanir and then Back to Elmaythia Blackcloak

Gelmarus on the other hand was said to have died, but no body has ever been found
