He still drinks and gambles and all that jazz when he's not flat-out broke. What's different now is that he's stopped hoarding the favors; he passes them out like |

Aidenst gave up the posh life of dressing down wee novices for their own good and jealously hoarding guild favors from the general populace to go on a trip of rest and relaxation...on the rocky shores of Polyargos.
No, he wasn't run out of town or forced out of a job. He isn't practicing self-imposed exile and he isn't in trouble. No, he isn't into feathered women - at least not those types. He just wanted some time off, dammit!

The Footprint
Though he's mum on his reasons for leaving, he did leave a paper trail of so-called accomplishments. As the guild stacks have it, this is the man who issued and carried out more busy work than anybody else, thereby racking up the ranks. Contributions include overhauling the filing system and redefining service under a sect he reinvented, which was dumped into the compost of Things-We-Had-To-Switch-Up.
In the process of rebuilding the corporate ladder, he made the leap from glorified janitor to minister of education and started the trend of jazzing up the office by whittling down the title. Not a move to be expected from an adherent of the Old Guard, but his self-styled membership is rife with loose interpretation.
Regardless of his outlook on the road to decadence, he was frequently acting head of the Indorani thanks to a questionably close partnership, and he had the run of the place in his time. Outside of the guild he was known by some clients as an unlicensed practitioner, but most recognized him as the guy who peddled shoddy goods in a dinky little shop near the gambling pit. The shop ostensibly caters a variety of dishes, freshly cobbled together from the scraps of vultures, but everyone knows that it's a front for, well, something.
The Fallout
He and the GM had a swell, if suspicious, arrangement that lasted years, but something in their domestic life must have gone wrong: shortly after Bloodloch's defeat, Aidenst made up his mind to withdraw from his housekeeping duties and, allegedly, everything else that they entailed. This might have had something to do with the fact that the Guildmaster and the city Keeper were the same guy, and compounding the issue was the notion that his private life was on the rocks. Not an ideal situation, but probably something Aidenst could have weathered, the coward. Still, as a result, it was either clever or very bad timing to decide that their codependence was coming to an end. Maybe that was the point - after all, he was making his departure running away from Desian's city on the heels of announcing his retirement bailing on his marriage to the job.
But, as with everything else, decisions had to be negotiated. While the would-be retiree did refrain from giving him the slip, he also gave him about...one day's notice. He sprung the news on him with a box of notes - notes to his successor, that is. And that was how the bomb got dropped.
The revelation took place in Desian's haven, which was a baaad place to be if things got ugly. Luckily, perhaps disappointingly, the voice-raising was kept to a minimum and the confrontation was brief. The very paragon of maturity, Desian came around to the idea after a few obligatory feeble protests and they parted ways most cordially. In retrospect, he might have let him go on good terms because of a little miscommunication here and there, but Aidenst took that as his due and sped off for a stay on the islands.
And that, boys and girls, is how you resolve a break-up.
The Follow-up
There was no news post declaring how sorry or unsorry he was about ditching the poor Dehaken. Instead, the telltale signs were in the favors Aidenst garnered post quitting. Managing that is by far his greatest achievement to date, which yields decent subtextual commentary on the nature of his career.
In the aftermath of all this undramatic drama, someone had to pick up the workload, so the sweatshop of Mhun children he'd been overseeing passed into a new proprietor's keeping. His replacement is presumably in charge of his other affairs as well, all of them but one, and a very important one at that.
Which, you ask? Welllll, the Indorani have recently opened up an in-house contest on interior design. Doubtlessly it's Desian's way of finding a new housewife to pick out the latest drapes.
The Fetish
Back when he was in charge of the Servants, Aidenst was plagued by a rumor that he'd taken a liking to maids' outfits. This rumor is completely unfounded, seeing as how he only fancies aprons, and a full outfit an apron does not make.
Unless you happen to be escorting two lovely ladies out the door after they had dropped by unannounced, where they'd not only interrupted your bath but also made off with your shirt and trousers while you were still sitting dumbfounded in the pool. Then you have an excuse. Sort of.
The story involves the notoriously tentacled Lucia and her lady friend on an alleged trip to the Great Rock...
