History
Vernum Salja - The most powerful wizard in Azrea. He was born in 530 A.R.M. in Lorilla, where he went to University as a Wizard. He and Amythine unwittingly played a significant part in spreading The Order of Humanity's dark curse across the Jorman Planes, which finally led to the Age of Horror. During the war, Vernum made up for his early blunder by breaking down the Order’s plan to weaken Rendin's ability to defend against the incursion. When the war was over, Vernum swore to protect the world against future incidents and started the Isle as a neutral haven for wizards, from where he could guard the continent. Vernum’s Magic has given him an impossibly long life.
