Delvers into Secrets
Warlocks are driven by an insatiable need for knowledge
and power, which compels them into their pacts and
shapes their lives. This thirst drives warlocks into their
pacts and shapes their later careers as well.
Stories of warlocks binding themselves to fiends are
widely known. But many warlocks serve patrons that are
not fiendish. Sometimes a traveler in the wilds comes to a
strangely beautiful tower, meets its fey lord or lady, and
stumbles into a pact without being fully aware of it. And
sometimes, while poring over tomes of forbidden lore, a
brilliant but crazed student's mind is opened to realities
beyond the material world and to the alien beings that
dwell in the outer void.
Once a pact is made, a warlock's thirst for knowledge
and power can't be slaked with mere study and research.
No one makes a pact with such a mighty patron if he or she
doesn't intend to use the power thus gained. Rather, the
