War Wizards
Brief History
in 70 DR a powerful mage, Baerauble Etharr, gathered a group of wizards across Cormyr and helped defeat and cleanse a rift into the Elemental Planes. Following this the Throne, led by King Obarskyr, created the war wizards and made Bearauble Etharr the first Mage Royal. Since then the War Wizards have expanded and remained prominent in the culture, cutting off cult cells before anyone knew it, finding people posing as Nobles through scrying, and ending wars swiftly. Now-a-days the war wizards are extremely busy with the war effort against Netheril and Sembia, and have found it difficult to match the Expertise of Netheril’s magic Council of Mages
Comprised of the Mage Royal and the Lord Warder's, has a special meet up base called Mage Keep. They make sure the war wizards are running steadily. They sometimes invite non-war wizards in Cormyr and other realms in times of great distress. A popular one was when Vangerdahast summoned the Blackstaff of Waterdeep, and the Art Major of Cormanthor following The Goblin War {1370 DR} . Possessions
Most War Wizards have special magical cloaks that start black and cna change color to resemble the region they come from if they are higher ranking. Some higher up People wearing these cloaks are tied to a special ring worn by important people of Cormyr, Dukes, Royal Family, etc. the ring grants the war wizards ability to scry and teleport to the creature wearing the ring's location at will.
The cloak is usually black with a bunch of pockets for material components on the interior and has a golden throat clasp to connect the two sides. The cloak has an auto-activate ability to cast featherfall and a special pocket called the “escape pocket”, a special pocket that can be used once per day to teleport you back to the closest war wizard base. The throat clasp has the ability to cast sending 3/day to other people within the war wizards. The magic only flows through the cloak and throat clasp when the throat clasp is clicked together.

I give my loyal service unfailingly to the Mage Royal of Cormyr, in full obedience of speech and action, that peace and order shall prevail in the Forest Kingdom, that magic of mine and others be used and not misused. I do this in trust that the Mage Royal shall unswervingly serve the throne of Cormyr, and if the Mage Royal should fall, or fail the Crown and Throne, my obedience shall be to the sovereign directly. Whenever there is doubt and dispute, I shall act to preserve Cormyr. Sunrise and moonfall, as long as my breath takes and my eyes see, I serve Cormyr. I pledge my life that the realm endure. Upon saying this the Mage Royal audibly casts Geas on them to follow this oath absolutely until the end of their lives.
