Seluvis
Sorcerer Seluvis is an enigmatic and morally ambiguous sorcerer whose questline is tied to powerful sorceries, unique items, and a dark secret involving puppets. His story unfolds in the magical region of Liurnia of the Lakes and can lead to significant rewards, but also carries a heavy moral cost.
Seluvis's questline begins at his Rise in the northwestern part of Liurnia of the Lakes. He is a haughty and self-important individual who is deeply interested in the power of sorcery and the potential of others. He will offer you a quest to retrieve a potion for him, which he intends to use on Nepheli Loux. This is a pivotal moment in his questline, as your decision regarding this potion has significant consequences. Seluvis is also involved with the 'Puppet' mechanic, where he can transform individuals into puppets for his own amusement and use. To progress his quest, you will need to interact with him at various stages, often after completing other NPC quests or acquiring specific items. He is particularly interested in the fate of Nepheli Loux and the Tarnished who have shown potential. Be wary of his true intentions, as he is not a benevolent figure. The rewards for engaging with Seluvis can include powerful sorceries, unique talismans, and the ability to acquire his 'Spirit Ashes' which are actually his puppet companions. His questline is complex and can be easily missed or altered by other quest progressions.
