He gained the attention of {{CharLink|Mystra}}, the goddess of magic, who became his teacher, muse, and eventually his lover. However, Gale witnessed magic that was beyond mere mortals while he was with Mystra. Seeing the powers he was denied, he begged Mystra for more, but she told him to be content with what he had. | ||
Looking to gain Mystra’s favor, Gale found a magical tome from the Netherese empire. It contained a fragment of Weave that was lost after the fall of Netheril. Gale believed that returning the fragment to Mystra would earn her favor and she would grant him the powers he desperately wanted. However, once he opened the tome, the power within the object merged within him, a Netherese orb that hungers for magic. Locked away in his tower in Waterdeep, Gale could manage the condition, but in the wilds, it risked becoming unmanaged. If the orb is not sated, it will detonate with the power to level a city the size of Waterdeep. | Looking to gain Mystra’s favor, Gale found a magical tome from the Netherese empire.

If the player avoids the Weary Traveler at the earlier two locations, he will appear on the stone bridge in front of [[Moonrise Towers]], close to the [[Waypoint]]. The old man asks to see Gale and, if Gale is in the party, he is identified as the great wizard {{CharLink|Elminster|Elminster Aumar}}. Elminster is an emissary of Mystra, seeking Gale to relay a message to him and a special charm. He asks if he can rest at camp first and get a proper meal, and then can be met at camp immediately or later. | ||
At camp, Elminster states that Mystra has been watching the Cult of the Absolute and believes it is a threat to the Weave and the fabric of reality itself. Gale is the one person who can stop it, by detonating his Netherese Orb in the heart of the Absolute. If Gale sacrifices himself, he will be redeemed in the eyes of Mystra. Elminster also casts a charm on Gale, granting him control over the Orb. He is able to detonate it at will. With the message imparted, Elminster wishes Gale and the party the best of luck in defeating the Absolute and departs. | At camp, Elminster states that Mystra has been watching the Cult of the Absolute and believes it is a threat to the Weave and the fabric of reality itself.
