After being appointed Leader of the Magi Order, Syris began training young wizards again. His task was not an easy one, for there have not been a Magi Order in Romia for 5 centuries. With his hopes high and motivated by the young minds who wanted to learn the ways of magic, Syrius knew that he couldn't teach alone. So he sent word to an old friend of his, a wizard that couldbreak mountains so he said. Manny new apprentices came daily to the Obelisk, in search of magic. There was a thirst of power within the people, and with the close war at hand, the timing seemed perfect.
-Welcome to the Obelisk of Time. Some of you may know me, some may not. I am Syris, Great Wizard of Dhalia and Leader of the Magi Order. In the next few short weeks i will try my best to teach you the ways of magic. But before you learn any spell, any enchantment or trick from me you must know the history behind our sacred order.
From the back of the crowd a tall, hooded person standing in the middle of a archway and with a clear of a throat she asks:
The voice sounded familiar to Syris but he couldn't put a face to it tho. With a swift move of his magnificent staff, he sends a wave of air towards the hooded person in order to remove the hood and reveal its face. The person immediately takes out a staff from her robe and with a sturdy move grabs the staff with two hands and impales it into the ground reflecting Syris's spell. Everyone was amazed and the silence was broke by the persons voice:
you have got a bit rusty with your magic.
She now takes the hood down and looks confidently at Syris with a perky smile:
- Nice to see you again Syris!
- Astiria?! But i have just sent a courier to deliver a letter to you and yet here you are not moments after. You never cease to amaze me. Everyone i want you to meet one of the few female wizards in Tarhia, Astiria Wintersun.
One of the younger apprentices asks Syris:
- But my father taught me that only men can become wizards, and women can only be trained in enchanting...
- You are right son. Only men can become wizards but as any given rule, there is always a counter rule to it. Astiria is one of the counter rules. As i have spoken earlier, first you must need to understand the way of the Magi, the history of the order. You see, wizards and enchantresses main power lays in the energy so called mana. Without it no sage can perform any sort of magic. And of course there is Magic, the one thing that binds us all. We receive mana from the Creator, and we replenish it through the magic. The reason why only men can become wizards is that of the quantity of mana one person has. Women are known for they're stronger magical connection, but men can utilise it more. Of course there are exceptions from the rule, my good friend Astiria being one of them. But more history later, i will now let Astiria tell you a little bit about what it is to be a mage. Astiria takes down the hooded cloth and reveals a beautiful red robe and a green moon-staff. She walks up to the center of the court.
-Thank you Astiria, well spoken words. And now a word for all of you apprentices. Find your inner calling, you may not succeed in the training of wizardry but take into consideration there are other orders that would suite you as well. For those of you who want to stay in the order of magi, know this; the usual training of a wizard takes a whole lifetime, but we will try to do it as fast as possible with war being on our footsteps. I bid all of you good chances in the endeavors that you are to begin.
After he spoke his mind to the people, Syris and Astiria started to assemble the order and began training with the apprentices. But in the meantime, far away across the lakes of Kel'Doom and the Forsaken Forest, in the town of Gothar, the capital city of the Tarhian empire, Adrian Krue gathers all his advisors in order to start they're final endeavor into conquering the lands of Romia.
