Knowler, God of Knowledge and Power

Knowler by AuthorChase on Heroforge

Knowler formed the Historians Guild after some Light Elves showed interest in helping him research Astnyr. Despite being created in the region, they were unaware of what it held. Knowler agreed, grateful for the help and proud of what his people were already becoming. Curious and mindful creatures.

History

Knowler was researching Astnyr and the other regions on his own until the citizens of Hystoria volunteered to help him. These volunteers became Scholars, and later Mentors, along with the Battle Mages protecting them.
The Scholars helped Knowler with his research of Astnyr and other realms according to their own special interests. Sometimes Scholars had to abandon their interesting research, including sealing Lunarius away under Knowler's discretion. This led to many Scholars dying before their special interest was complete.
After Lunarius was sealed, Knowler shared this research with other like-minded Scholars so that the Scholars who had died could rest in peace in the afterlife of Aeftir. Knowing that the research was going to Scholars with the same special interest gave Knowler his own peace of mind, for he felt partly responsible for their deaths and incomplete research. The Scholars could be called into action again when the time ever came again.
That time was when Morana invaded Magick Glades for the second time. Knowler underestimated her prowess in subterfuge inside the city. He reluctantly called on his Scholars, knowing there was a repeat of history about to ensue.

The Best Scholar Who Ever Lived

Past Lunarius by AuthorChase on Heroforge

There were no leaders keeping the organization together. The Historians Guild was more of a communal effort than followers of one leader. One Scholar rose above the rest, however. And his name was Lunarius.
Lunarius was the son of Knowler and Beight, brother of Justlight and Morana. Even without having use of magic, his curiosity and wits made him the best scholar among his associates. He researched the region of Celmani with Winter, helped Morana research about poisons and diseases, and helped his father in his own endeavors.
When they sealed Lunarius in his underwater prison, people mourned for him. The Historians Guild still held him in high regard, even after the Great War.

Scholars

Scholars were the most respected people of Astnyr. Some went on and became Mentors with their special interest or to teach children about the world they lived in. Most Scholars stuck with research and travel.
They knew fire magic. They used it solely for convenience, like lighting a dark room or candle. Sometimes a Scholar discovered a forgotten dungeon or chasm. Lighting up those spaces certainly saved their lives to notice traps left behind.

Mentors

Mentor by AuthorChase on HeroForge

Mentors taught at various academies and schools throughout Astnyr. Most of them taught children about the world, while others taught future Wizards and Flame Archers. Those who did so had a special interest in studying battle strategies and weapons as a Scholar.
They used fire magic in much the same way as Scholars did. When teaching future military men, instructors used it to demonstrate the destruction fire magic could cause. This was to remind them, along with Wizards who became Mentors as well, to only use fire magic in battle. Never to harass or harm their fellow man.
