- 4403 Horriman I the Elder came to the Archmage's seat with a singular vision: to systematize all known magicks into a comprehensive codex. A deep traditionalist, he abhorred sensationalism and distrusted elementalism. His era was marked by quiet consolidation, long councils, and the laying of foundations.
- 4417 Horriman II the Younger was less conservative than his namesake despite being his actual son and one-time primus. Horriman II brought a spirit of innovation and outreach. He opened the Dweomersecte’s lower curriculum to the scions of noble houses and introduced statecraft as an arcane discipline. A shrewd political manipulator, he helped enthrone King Daeran of Saklan and for a time lived in the Sable Tower of Tradestop. His forays into ethereal cartography and planar mirrors alarmed the Magisters, who accused him of consorting with the unclean.
- 4444 Arepos V the Proud was a firebrand in every sense save literal. He was known for his tempestuous personality and soaring ambition. Disdainful of the “monastic stylings” of the order's early masters, he introduced grandeur, ceremony, and symbology into the role of Archmage. Draped in rune-etched robes and crowned with the Diadem of Names, he issued proclamations from his seat as though he were a temporal ruler. His disdain for the Magisters was legendary. He disappeared, along with the artificat itself, while playing Heward's Mystical Organ.
- 4458 Diodenos the Fearsome was a self-described Geomancer from the Cradle Peaks. He took the mantle of Archmage after defeating four rivals in a single winter. He remade the Secte’s inner laws in his own image—rigid, austere, and uncompromising. Diodenos wielded the Staff of Power and the Staff of the Magi simultaneously.
- 4472 Jyremey the Winged was a half-elf who claimed to be within three generations of Avariel Elves. While he did not have visible wings, he often showed off his ring of flying, by hovering or moving in a cross-legged seated posture. Jyremey reoriented the Dweomersecte toward the relationship between magic and music, astronomy, and dream-states. He was beloved by apprentices and feared by elders, who found his methods too abstract. He claimed to have found the Chord of Emergence, a method of singing which rendered scrolls and spellbooks unnecessary. In 4485, he rose into the sky mid-song and was never seen again.
- 4486 Demenes the Beloved was once a tutor to the High King Damon of Saklan. Demenes was elevated not by conquest or vision, but by consensus. A statesman-mage of rare compassion, he ushered in an era of stability. Though not a great innovator, he was a master of human systems, binding disparate parts into a coherent whole. He brokered peace with the Archflames for a time and is credited with the Great Concordance. Upon his death, the bells of all thirteen towers of the Secte tolled in harmony for a full day.
