Origins and Genesis:
During the aftermath of the Tearing, Magic in the world of Mundus exploded resulting in untold catastrophe across the realms. The nations of old were totally decimated and it gave way to a series of smaller much more isolated nations. During this time, the with the different planes being in such flux, the arcane influence gave way to magic more powerful than previously seen. As a result seven gifted individuals unprecedented access to the arcrane forces rose up around the continent of Munhart. These powerful mages came from diverse backgrounds, each representing a distinct school of magic: conjuration, evocation, transmutation, divination, enchantment, abjuration, and illusion. These individuals established the Septimus Arcanus, an alliance bound by a common purpose — to explore the limits of magic and end the Tearing.In an age before the nations of Munhart were fully formed, and the largest entities were powerful city states, the Septimus Arcanus would form one of the most powerful political entities on the continent. Their influence was palpable, with each individual member serving as advisors to the various cities.
Invention of Spells:
The Septimus Arcanus tirelessly delved into the mysteries of the cosmos, collaborating to create spells that would shape the course of Munhart's history. They pioneered spells that harnessed the raw energy of the elements, unlocked hidden dimensions, and wove magic into the very essence of reality.The New Veil:
Among their numerous accomplishments, their greatest achievement was the creation of the New Veil, an all-powerful barrier that fortified the boundaries between the mortal plane and the astral realms. The Septimus Arcanus, along with a band of heroes, and a collection of powerful Dragons, desired to finally put an end to the celestial conflict being wrought on the Material Plane. They recognized the dangers of unchecked interference by powerful angels and demons and erected this extra-dimensional barrier to maintain the equilibrium between the worlds. The New Veil not only ensured the security of Munhart but also reflected the septet's commitment to the preservation of harmony.Disbanded but Not Forgotten:
However, the Septimus Arcanus' influence was not destined to be eternal. After decades of tireless service to Munhart, the organization gradually faded from the annals of history. The seven wizards dispersed, their reasons as enigmatic as their origin. Some legends whisper of internal disagreements, while others suggest a final, monumental quest that led them beyond the realms of Mundus. Whatever the truth, the Septimus Arcanus eventually became a memory, leaving behind a legacy that loomed over generations.Successors and Rivals:
As time flowed onwards, various organizations attempted to fill the void that the Septimus Arcanus left behind. Among those only two have come close to the amount of prestige of their predecessors; the Foundation and the Order of the Violet Iris. The Foundation was founded on the principle that the most powerful of wizards should have control over the events of the world, and that it was their responsibility to use their extensive knowledge to guide the realm through turbulent times. The Order of the Violet Iris, on the other hand, sought to push the boundaries of magic even further, and share their knowledge with everyone, often challenging the principles established by the Septimus Arcanus themselves. The legacy of the Septimus Arcanus continued to inspire, casting a shadow of wonder and reverence upon the history of Munhart. Their spells illuminated the path for countless wizards, while the New Veil served as a testament to their enduring commitment to the welfare of both mortals and the celestial.Members
