—Berched

Description

His age is apparent through his deeply chiseled features, and his voice is faintly reminiscent of a woodwind instrument echoing across a wide plateau.

Berched is an old Druid near the Stonehenge in the field in the north area of Taillteann. He sells Wands and repairs them at a 97% success rate. He also gives a discount on magical weapon repairs (actual cost of repair with title is 80% of the displayed cost) for those wearing "the Shadow Hero" Title.

Berched also teaches Blaze and informs players how to transfer Spirit Weapons to another weapon. He can also create or destroy Spirit Weapons as well as transferring spirits of one weapon type to another.

While playing or replaying Generation 18: The Saga: Iria II, Berched disappears from his usual spot.

History

He once held a position in Tara by the demand of the Pontiff's Court. Near the time where The Second Battle of Mag Tuireadh was ending, he retired and moved to Taillteann. Among many reasons, he names the declining health of his granddaughter, Lena.

He doesn't get along with Dorren.

When speaking to him with the Mores Keyword, he reveals that Mores was once his student. He also reveals tutoring a person named Tafney when spoken with the Nearby Rumors Keyword. After one completes The Saga: Iria, Berched mentors a Young Tarlach.

Generation 24: Ascension (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

The Aces send the Milletian to Berched in order to create a purification image to help reverse the ritual in Tory Ravine.

He tasks the Milletian with gathering various materials to create the image and, in the Milletian's absense, Berched discusses many things with Piran, revealing that he knows a great deal about Piran's order and their doctrines.

Once the Milletian returns with the materials, he creates the purification image and insists that Piran be the one to hold onto it.

After Piran leaves for the castle, Berched mentions to the Milletian that he noticed a strange energy about Piran and that the necklace he wears isn't the norm for the followers of Hymerark. He doesn't believe Piran's intentions will disrupt the Milletian's goals and that not even Piran seems to be aware of the energy surrounding himself.
