College of Mages: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:06, 24 June 2009

Until recently, the College of Mages was believed crushed beyond recovery as a result of the Scarlet War. Although a few mages occasionally cropped up after that point, it seemed that the great days of Arcane magic were gone.

The Jade Tower stood vacant, filled only with forgotten dreams of power and glory - and, of course, relics of their days in the sun.

However, recent events indicate that the College of Mages was not, in fact, destroyed, and that they have reclaimed their tower.

-Once the leaders of the College of Mages were members of this class, but fell from power at the end of the Scarlet War. In their heyday, they had the ability to tap into a giant reserve of mystic power.

-* The Arcane Order, also known as the College of Mages, was believed irrevocably destroyed with the execution of [[Davilan the Scribe]]. See the [[Historical Timeline]] for more details.  As of 15 Harmony, 1337, this no longer appears to be the case.
-* The [[Jade Tower]], headquarters for the Arcane Order, is also the storage place for the Spellpool, a reserve of mystic energy that the Mages can apparently tap at will. It was emptied when the Mages caused the [[Holy Temple]] at [[Mt. Daneasus]] to disappear, moved forward in time some 300 years. It refilled, tapping the power of the ley lines on which the Tower is situated, but was again mostly emptied when the [[Companions of the Rising Sun]] used its power to restore the Temple to current time.
