The Crystal Mages came about due the oppression towards the Mages after the Civil war between the Trader Guild and Noble Senate Houses. when both sides used Mages during the fighting causing serious and widespread destruction, and while the Mages followed the orders of their Lords, they were blamed for the worst damage and deaths during the war, so afterwards they were shunned and controlled, Magic was Suppressed and limited. Then the Declaration of the Crystal Convenant Concord happened and everything changed, ending in the Crystal Tower and Mages taking control of the city for the benefit of all.
