Dweomer is an Aeormaton who acted as a professional assistant to Laerryn Coramar-Seelie in the flying city of Avalir. As an NPC in Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, Dweomer was played by Brennan Lee Mulligan.

Biography

Dweomer was usually present when Laerryn was working on the Astral Leywright during the final day of Avalir's existence. It was she that noticed that the four taxmen automata brought by Nydas Okiro at Laerryn's request to assist in the Leywright's testing did not bear the glyph of the Armorer Arcane. She participated in the test as well, giving instructions to the taxmen, first noticing the huge and unexpected energy drain, and discovering that the issue was not with the Leywright, but elsewhere in the Etheric Net.

Later, when an argument broke out between the members of the Ring of Brass at the Tree of Names, Dweomer entered the room as Laerryn was under a Hold Person spell cast by Nydas Okiro. Saying, "Within the confines of the Meridian Labyrinth, no harmful spells will be cast upon the Architect Arcane," Dweomer cast Disintegrate at Nydas but was Counterspelled.

Dweomer was still present when the tree was sundered and was caught in the explosion that followed. When Laerryn Dimension Doored away to safety, she was able to watch a glitching and static-filled feed still coming from Dweomer, whose body was on the ground at the foot of the tree, only partially active. Laerryn spoke through Dweomer to the fiendishly-tranformed Zerxus Ilerez, demanding he bring their dead friends back to life, but Vespin Chloras immediately hit Dweomer with a Fireball, destroying her.

Trivia

• Her name derives from the Proto-Germanic dwemaną, meaning "to smoke", "fume" or "raise dust" (the latter according to its Proto-Indo-European etymology).
  • Dweomer was a Dungeons & Dragons term used to describe the magical aura of either a magical item or a spell while it was active. The term hasn't been used in 5th Edition, so it's possible that its presence in the world of Exandria before the Calamity follows the pattern of using spells and lore from earlier editions of D&D to denote lost knowledge from the Age of Arcanum.
• It is unknown under what circumstances Dweomer ended up working with Laerryn, and whether she was created on Aeor or if her Aeorian design was acquired by arcanists from Avalir.
  • Had she been sent from Aeor, her case is curiously similar to that of the automatons given away during what was known as the Care and Culling: Aeorian politicians gave several of their Aeormatons to different people around Exandria, and those automatons acted as caretakers and companions until they tried to kill those to whom they were gifted, with different degrees of success. But Dweomer was in Avalir at the very final moments before the Calamity and she was always apparently loyal to Laerryn.
    • According to Aabria, Laerryn was aware of the risks of working with Dweomer, given the clockwork sorcerer's connection to Aeor, but decided not to give up a competent assistant, even if she eventually had to deal with her potential rebellion.
