The Wizard
The Wizard is The External responsible for the preservation and overseeing of Magic.
The Wizard's role is one that has expanded greatly from their initial inception. The Wizard was initially a detective, wandering through the world trying to discover more about Arcanis' discovery of Arcane Magic. Once Arcanis made Dragons, The Wizard's role expanded to watching and caring for Dragons, keeping them safe and observing their relationship with magic. Eventually, once magic was taught to the other mortal races, The Wizards role greatly expanded, now responsible for keeping in check one of the most potent forces to ever exist, a force that spread exponentially between mortals.
The Wizard flourished during The Age of Heroes, forever bouncing between magocracies, magic schools, and independent practitioners who aimed to rise above the rest. Magic flourished and grew during this age, reaching heights that would never been seen again, and much of this was encouraged by The Wizard.
However, The Wizard's role would change greatly after The Schism. Viskara's rage and sorrow at the overstepping of arcane magic would lead to millions of deaths and the death of Arcanis himself. The Wizard would mourn these losses, feeling responsible for the state arcana found itself in. From that point on The Wizard changed their role, instead now focusing on not allowing magic to reach the point it did before, allowing it to flourish and grow, but not allowing it to reach the hubristic height of the Pre-Schism world.
The Wizard has gone from a force magic users respect and revere, hoping he would arrive to aide and encourage their craft, to now fearing a visit, dreading the knock on their door as they work their experiments, dreading that they'll find a man in grey robes standing at their door, ready to remove their hubristic research from the face of existence.
