Lunarius God of Madness
God of Madness by AuthorChase on Heroforge
Lunarius discovered a power that could save Astnyr from an invasion from the vampires of Celmani. But his ambitions extended to conquer and genocide of the entire region. He recruited Wizards of the Battle Mages against their will, only sparing the High Mage. Throughout the years, wizards became corrupted with madness magic, endeavoring to free Lunarius from his underwater prison.
History
Cult of Madness by AuthorChase on DrawShield
Lunarius became the god of madness, recruiting many wizards to his cause. These Wizards were controlled against their will by Lunarius, and invaded Hystoria and other settlements of Astnyr from the inside. However, their gift for obedience was madness magic. When the Great War began, the Cult of Madness was very disorganized after receiving this power. This weakness, combined with their lack of time to master their new magic, led to the decimation of the mages after Lunarius was sealed in his underwater prison. They invaded the cities and villages of Astnyr, only to be defeated and killed. However, a few mages survived after Lunarius was sealed. These cultists hid away from the world and began teaching anew to unsuspecting Wizards of Hystoria. Their masters would control these new mages to help unseal Lunarius.
The cultists secretly established and trained new recruits, especially when Seaport was built near Lunarius' seal. The city became their new base of operations, able to become part of society. They disguised themselves as disgraced wizards who wished to make amends for their mistakes and lust for power. Even with their glowing pink eyes, the Crafters' Guild within the city welcomed them wholeheartedly, teaching them various skills. Other cultists opened shops and inns, interacting with citizens daily. Meanwhile, deep in the night, the cultists held meetings, planning their next moves and reporting their progress. The cultists knew that one day Lunarius would rise again.
Mage of Madness

In their own records, 10,000 mages of madness were in Astnyr. Some spread themselves as far as Frosthalla from their primary base in Seaport. Although the military in the region outnumbered them, their potent magic could still wreak havoc if Lunarius was released. Especially with such relations against Morana and Strection. With Astnyr so divided, it was the perfect time for his release.
Eldrinor Nocturne by AuthorChase on HeroForge
The mages planned with their madness magic, controlling disgraced Wizards every year. Even with Lunarius sealed, his control was absolute. The Light Elf mages that survived the Great War recruited many other mages through madness magic. Then they were the masters. However, there might be a mage that would help stop this cycle. From another world, perhaps?
