[[File:Bowgentle_Portrait.png|right|200px|thumb|Bowgentle, the Lost Sage of Magical Lore]]

Bowgentle was a renowned human wizard and sage of the North, celebrated for his mastery of transmutation and binding magics. His disappearance centuries ago remains one of the lingering mysteries of the Sword Coast’s magical history, and his spellbook is rumored to contain knowledge of powerful enchantments lost to time.

=== Background ===
Once a scholar of [[Neverwinter]] and later a recluse of the High Forest, Bowgentle devoted his life to preserving and expanding the arcane traditions of Faerûn. His writings were sought after by mages across the Realms, and fragments of his research survive in a handful of tomes and scrolls.

In [[Session 03 – Welcome to Phandalin]], [[Sister Garaele]] tasked the adventurers with seeking out the banshee [[Agatha]], who may know the location of Bowgentle’s lost spellbook. Legends claim the tome contains rituals of protection and creation — spells capable of shaping or binding magical forces themselves.

=== Relationships ===
* [[Sister Garaele]] – Seeks knowledge of his spellbook through [[Agatha]].
* [[Agatha]] – Once acquainted with him; retains knowledge of his spellbook’s last location.
* [[Neverwinter]] – His home city and likely origin of his scholarly order.

=== Current Status ===
Presumed long dead, though his works and artifacts continue to influence magical scholarship throughout the North.

=== Appearances ===
* Mentioned in [[Session 03 – Welcome to Phandalin]] during the quest given by [[Sister Garaele]].

<details><summary>🧩 DM Notes (Spoilers)</summary>

'''Truth:''' Bowgentle’s spellbook does indeed contain advanced enchantments related to sealing extraplanar entities and amplifying divine wards. Portions of this knowledge were based on ancient draconic scripts, possibly derived from the same traditions later studied by the [[Cult of the Dragon]].

'''Foreshadowing:'''
* The rediscovery of Bowgentle’s spellbook could foreshadow the magical lore used to oppose [[Tiamat]] in ''Rise of Tiamat''.
* His writings may contain forgotten rites once employed by dragon-slaying orders or the [[Harpers]] to bind chromatic dragons.
* If recovered, the book could serve as a tool or bargaining chip during later political and magical conflicts.
