Wizards Concillium LARP/LRP Faction
A Brief History
Whilst most Towered factions upon Orin Rakatha struggled and fought without magic during the troubled times the Wizard’s Concillium found themselves helpless without their arcane might and were forced to retreat into their Tower. For many years the Concillium suffered, vulnerable when leaving the Tower and unable to exert any influence as they lacked the warriors, who were now the key to power. The loss of the second Concillium Tower followed as many former mages were killed in the field, or defected to stronger factions and the Concillium appeared to be heading for annihilation. For many years the Wizard’s remained in the vicinity of their remaining Tower, constantly experimenting in an attempt to bring about the return of magic but meeting with little success. As time past the Concillium became something of a joke and other factions left them alone to their madness, occasionally visiting them to sell now-useless magical tomes, which the Wizard’s alone were prepared to buy.
Centuries after the loss of magic to the world other Towers had forgotten most of what they ever knew of magic and what they did remember consisted of little more than fanciful stories sorcerers flinging balls of fire or striking their foes dead with a glance. Many even of the Concillium had turned away from the “ancient art” and had become interested in other fields, such as alchemy, engineering or history. The Concillium itself had carved out a small niche as scholars and scribes, renting their services to other factions and providing teaching to those prepared to pay. They were no longer wealthy, powerful or influential but they were surviving.
And then magic began to return to the world. Those Wizards who had remained true to the ancient art were the first to notice as their rituals began to have some limited results. It was difficult, and the magic was weak, but magic had returned. The Concillium hushed up this remarkable development for many years, fearful that other Towers would rather wipe them out now rather than risk the return of true sorcery.
Following the ritual performed by the Labyrinth of Xenos last year the Concillium once again find themselves the centre of attention as it would appear that magic is once again free upon the world, and they alone have retained the skills to harness and control it.
