Sannl Aichill

A Dwarven mage who along with Carric Ilphelkirk founded the Kirk-Hill Institute. She is noted for her contributions to metallurgy and alchemy.

Early Life
Almost nothing is known about Sannl Aichill's early life, likely due to a thorough program of editing and censorship conducted by the Seating of the Nine after the destruction of the Kirk-Hill Institute. There is a hypothesis gaining traction in the historical community that suggests the name Sannl Aichill was actually a pseudonym. Recently uncovered records relate her name to an ancient Elven civilization from pre-antiquity known as the "Seanchanni". The plausible, but as of yet undocumented assumption, is that at some point the woman who later called herself Sannl must have been researching this civilization and stumbled upon the name finding some connection to the self she wished to become.

Kirk-Hill Institute
Originally considered the junior partner in the Institute by many due to her lower rank with the Seating of the Nine Aichill quickly distinguished herself as the organizational genius behind the Institute's growth and financial solvency in addition to her many contributions to alchemical magics and metallurgical sciences. Her partner, Carric Ilphelkirk, while often the face of the Institute (handsome, generous, and focused on higher magics) typically left the Institute to her direction.

It has been argued that many of Ilphelkirk's greatest inventions relied heavily on Aichill's metallurgical genius to contain, shape, and aim the elemental and planar forces Ilphelkirk hoped to channel. An example of her contributions is a common brass alloy that is still known today as Aich's Alloy.
