Apprentice Keymaster (Prestige Class)

There is known to be only one Keymaster in the multiverse. It is said that all master keys are made by the Keymaster, even those used to create the maze portals in the City of Doors. The Keymaster is immensely powerful, and yet has never abused that power...at least as far as anyone can tell.

It is also known that the Keymaster holds several apprentices. Not apprentices in the normal sense, but rather aspirants who seek the knowledge and wisdom of the Keymaster, who must essentially discover the secrets on their own, should they wish ever to gain the power and responsibility of the Keymaster.

There exists one Ultimate Master Key in the multiverse, and it is always in the possession of the Keymaster. There is also a Backup Ultimate Master Key, which is always in the possession of the Keymaster's number one apprentice. Only the holder of the Backup Ultimate Master Key knows the location of the Keymaster, and only he is allowed to challenge the Keymaster for his position. Anyone, however, can challenge the number one apprentice for his position, and the Backup key. It is a dangerous position, but one that can hold the ultimate reward.

If you're into that sort of thing.
