Scholars of the Cities of Sigmar

You know what I like my fellow Realmwalkers? Worldbuilding. One of the funner aspects of worldbuilding are historical and background characters largely unrelated to the main events, tone, and various themes and theses of the setting. Such as scholars in the Cities of Sigmar.

Per "Kragnos: Avatar of Destruction" we learned Hersbetter and Meristiles are two military historians whose works are part of the curriculum at the War College in Starhold, also there is a War College in the Azyrite Free City of Starhold.

"Legend of the Doomseeker" gives us Memihir Akpani who was a historian who wrote of the Realmgate Wars. There is the prolific scholar Kerst Tertoma who is mentioned in numerous Josh Reynolds' stories. The even more prolific Palento Herst who you can meet in "Hallowed Knights: Black Pyramid".

Phineas Maveron and Herolf Agravan are bestiarists, writers of bestiaries, who hail from the Free City of Excelsis.

In "Soul Wars" we meet Juvius Thrawl who is a sketchy little bugger in charge of a fort that we last see overrun by Nighthaunt. Yet per the "Battle of Glymmsforge" booklet he managed to survive and go on to publish two books!

Augustus Vambedulin and Palos Tzind are other historians mentioned in the Malign Portents free fictions.

Ignice Van and Sannon Cordriss are two of, with Herolf Agravan being a third, the in-universe scholars credited for writing some of those Ark Arcana bits we were getting in White Dwarf for awhile.

In the "Everqueen" short there is Oltona Hieronymides an abbess in Azyr who wrote "Of Myths and Monstyrs in the Mortal Realms".

Nechris Litharge is another individual whose many, many works are mentioned throughout a number of Josh Reynolds novels. Usually fixating on morbid topics. He is technically responsible for kicking off the story of the "Shadespire: The Mirrored City" novel.

The Cities are awash in notable scholars. You may also notice they help to build on the themes of Cities being a bastion of multiculturalism. While all these ones, who I had on a prepped list on the Lex, are humans. They are far from the only ones, and even still they've names from quite a few origins.
