hello Hello, my friends. Please sit and talk with me. wizards Yes, my friend, the wizards three. The three be Chanteclaire, Marbella and Aphrotine, the greatest archmages in the land. archmage An archmage is the highest level any wizard may obtain, my friend. But very seldom does one find a white archmage. white Aye, white archmages epitomize goodness in the world. Of the ten archmages that have ever existed, all but three have been dark mages. dark The evil in mankind. Perhaps you have seen Millford? He is an apprentice to one of the dark archmages. millford The Mayor Millford, now a lich. lich When a powerful mage puts his mind to something, nearly anything is possible...even immortality. apprentice Millford was an apprentice (albeit a powerful one) of Iiselguild. iiselguild Iiselguild is one of the few wizards of Keslar ever to achieve archmage status. keslar The powerful dark mages of Keslar have had a hold on all high level wizards for centuries. Very few dare to challenge them. The three white mages did, and two are now dead. dead Aye, dead. Marbella was killed by a mob that despised all the evil magic that was being blamed on her. Aphrotine disappeared ages ago. Being a half-elf, it is unlikely that she is still alive. evil Evil magic has more power than one would imagine. All magic can be shaped to serve the powers of the dark mages. ages Aphrotine disappeared nearly two centuries ago under mysterious circumstances. mysterious While in a meeting of the red-robed mages, she strangely vanished. red-robed A powerful order of mages known as the red-robed mages because they all wear red robes. They affiliate with no other order. affiliate There are two mage societies in the land: the Keslar dark mages and the Wizard's Eye red-robed mages. Both never see eye-to-eye but seldom is there a conflict between the two. aphrotine Archmage Tellia Aphrotine disappeared under mysterious circumstances several centuries ago. circumstances She was rumored to be the only person who knew how to get to the tomb. tomb The tomb below the Keslar Palace, where the powerful wizards Deneb and Rowland lie restlessly. deneb One of the powerful wizards before the fall of Keslar Palace. rowland One of the powerful wizards before the fall of Keslar Palace. fall Keslar Palace was not always the home of the dark mages. Nearly five centuries ago, the wizards of Keslar were considered to symbolize the good power in the mystery of magic. marbella Archmage Lena Marbella was the first female mage to reach the status of archmage. But that was hardly the worst part. worst Marbella challenged the Mages of Keslar, claiming that their purpose in life was not to help others, but only themselves. She challenged them in open forums to defend their ways of life. challenged By way of magical powers, Marbella always triumphed. magical Her mysterious magic was always much more powerful than all the Keslar Mages combined. The only way to defeat her was to turn her people against her. people The Keslar Mages turned the tables on Marbella by claiming that it was she who was leaching off the people for their support and wisdom, and that all the Keslar Mages wanted to do was be left in peace. turned The people turned on Marbella and stormed her castle. With thousands of people against her, there was no way she could have survived. survived It has been rumored that Marbella knew of this trickery and created a copy of herself to be "killed" by the mob, and then promptly disappeared. rumored This rumor has often been denied because no one has seen or heard from Marbella for nearly three centuries. Even if she did survive the riot, she would be dead by now. chanteclaire Danielle Chanteclaire is the only archmage that is still alive today. She leads a quiet life, though, and is not seen much in public. alive Well, defined as living. Nearly all the archmages are still on this plane, manifested as a lich. quiet Aye, she runs a small but powerful shop in the center of town. shop Danielle's Mystic Mage Emporium, although she is seldom seen there. seen No one has seen Chanteclaire for many decades, but her powers can be felt by all the powerful mages in the land. powers Danielle has never used her power against anyone else, including the Keslar Mages, which is probably why she is not dead yet. If she can be found, she can probably answer all of your questions about any magical items or spells that might exist. questions No one knows more about magic than a powerful mage, and the Keslar Mages aren't about to tell you anything. exist Spells, scrolls, rings, wands and the like. Seek out Danielle in the storage and teleporter facility hidden behind her shop in the center of town. thanks You're more than welcome. I enjoyed the conversation. bye Good luck.
