The Books of the Archmagi of the Dweomersecte vol. 1


  • 3600 Arepos I the Great - A human male sometimes called The Archmage's. Arepos was the first to begin to make a systematic study of the ancient elven llor. He began his career as the court wizard of Etru, the last king of Treft. When that early monarchy was overthrown, he was sent into exile and found his way into the Mistwood. Making a friend of the Elven Rane, he rose to prominence in that court and came under the sway of an ancient llorfiril (master of song). He was eventually banished from that elven realm and sought out others to further his knowledge. His travels took him eventually to the shores of the Dagger Sea in present day Bolden, where he raised a tower and started the Dweomersecte around the ancient Scrolls of Alobal. It is said that his actual knowledge of magic was extremely poor having little more than the ability to Read and Detect Magic and perform paltry illusions. Nonetheless, he was giant of his time. His death was eventually attributed to frequently attempting spells beyond his mana capacity.

  • 3652 Sarseer the Burning - A human male, the student and adopted son of Arepos. He took up the Scrolls of Alobal when he answered the riddle of his master in order to prove his worth. Sarseer unlocked the mysteries of magical fire and then grew in power through a pact made with an otherworldly power -- as would become a recurring theme among the wizards of note. Less a wizard in the modern sense and more a devotee/priest of the Unperishing Flame. Because of his influence, himself and the next few wizards would come to be known as the Fire Magi. He perished, ironically, in flame, having come to believe that the element held no danger for him.

  • 3679 Niktalor I the Hideous - An urok male, who shared his master's fascination with, and devotion to, the element of fire and the Unperishing Flame. He is also responsible for the Dread Foulness, an alliance between the Dweomersecte and the Urok Hordes. His death is believed to have come at then hands of his successor and chief rival for the affections of their master.

  • 3693 Daenalus the Angry - A half elven male, he considered himself the proper heir of all things llor. He is widely attributed with having killed his predecessor and setting up the system now observed, known as The Trials. Under this system, no Archmage may rise, save one who answers the riddles put by each of the previous Archmagi. Daenalus was eventually slain by the red dragon he had attempted to tame and raise from birth.
