How did it come that the taking of a tower is met by a picked band of apprentices and one or two assistants, instead of armies? The knowledge hidden in these towers is immense, the accumulated work of lifetimes of some of the most brilliant men and women of the Empire. An enterprising warlord could significantly increase his power by controlling one of these towers, and a rogue duke or earl might be able to back a secession by bringing one under his wing. Likewise, the other magi could increase their own store of knowledge, becoming paramount and unrivalled in their power, if they could only bring the resources of a friendly noble to bear.

As with so much of the history of the magi, the answer lies in the decrees of our kings. Wars have been fought over these places, before the grasp of the Empire became too strong. With unchecked aggression came untold destruction, and incredible amounts of knowledge were lost—to say nothing of the lives wasted, of course.

After three such engagements, which devastated dozens of square miles of land and saw the release of sorceries unseen since the Hundred Flowers, Terona had finally had enough. The king issued an order infamous in our circles: the Claimant and Rehabilitant (Magical) Act; he delivered it to each noble house and to each magus tower, and executed the magus who unleashed that last fatal barrage.

The order also created the Archmagus and the Council of Magi. It is the Council that gives us our particular code of honor, and where we are most likely to meet our cohorts.
