Qeddwyn the Wise is one of just two natural remnants of the Ankyrean Order. He was a member of the Conclave of Arts in Spinesreach.

Near the end of the Second Mortal Epoch, the Ankyreans had rediscovered a source of power long since hidden to them by Varian, the Celestine - the power of the leylines. This knowledge allowed the Ankyrean Order to prosper and become the pre-eminent masters of science and technology, but it also led to the creation of the Consanguine and sparked a civil war within the Order. As the Ankyrean Order crumbled, destroyed by its own hubris, Qeddwyn begged Severn to undo the damage caused by the war and restore the Order to power. Severn took this as an opportunity to obscure the power of the leylines from mortals once again, and he enacted the Grand Artifice. As the Artifice moved slowly across the land, Qeddwyn was commanded by Severn to seal the doors of the Citadel, warning the Ankyrean that if the Citadel was ever discovered again, he would go mad. Qeddwyn followed the Manipulator's order and just after sealing the doors of the Citadel, he was overtaken by the Artifice. When he regained composure, he had lost all memories of the Second Mortal Epoch, and it was as if he and every other mortal were experiencing sentience for the first time.

Over the subsequent years, he collected stores of powerful weapons and other items imbued with the secret power of the Ankyri, and now makes them available to any who have the desire and the means to acquire an Ankyrean artifact. As an Ankyri himself, Qeddwyn also possesses the arcane secrets of imbuing Ankyrean artifacts with additional powers.
