History
Originally apart of the Cormanthyr Forest, the Wizards lived freely, hidden from the world by the elves. However when the Green Scourge came tearing through, the power flopped. No longer able to contact the greater Cormanthyr Forest the elves begged the Wizards to save their way of life, in return they would gain the political power and responsibilities of being the new rulers of the valley.
Since then the wizards and mages of the valley have ruled with a rather lax hand. So lax is the wizards rule, that the elves have since repopulated their villages. In addition, the elves no longer rely on the wizards for security, instead using the 27 different (but remarkably the same) guardian towers (or guardian trees). It is believed that the wizards still rule these lands, even if the elves never see them. Those living in the human or gnome communities have even less influence from the wizards, fully relying on the elves for protection. This isn't to say there aren't wizards or mages in the elven army, on the contrary, almost every single gnome in the army is a spellcaster of some kind.
In the early years of this arrangement, the elven armies were tasked with tracking down a group of adventures who had trespassed into the Valley of the Mage, on behalf of their own secretive leader, the First Protector, who claimed the adventures had tried to assassinate the Magical Authority. The adventures were promptly hunted down with the help of the First Protector, who claimed the armor of one of the fallen adventures as her own.
