Archmage and Mage

By the efforts of the High Elf Mages, Ulthuan is kept from sinking beneath the waves and the dread powers of Chaos are kept at bay. The need for powerful Mages and careful, scrupulous mastery of magic in High Elf society is as great as anywhere, and the Elves that devote their lives to magic are treated with the same respect and honor as lords.

The High Elves have always been a magical race, and it is common amongst the High Elves to exhibit some talent in the subtle art of sorcery. Saphery is the realm most famed for its mages, and all the princes and nobles of that realm are sorcerers of awesome power. Such is the reputation of that place that Elves from across Ulthuan flock there, to learn the arts of magic from the greatest practitioners in the world.

Traditionally High Elf Mages fulfill an advisory capacity when they join the armies of Ulthuan. Wise commanders willingly lean on the advice of a mage that accompanies him, for such is their learning from the arcane tomes contained within the White Tower that Mages possess an insight that is beyond the grasp of those who cannot wield magic. A mage often knows well how to confront the more bizarre foes like the Undead or Daemons of Chaos. They alone can plan for the protection of their fellows against enemy spells. Such versatility has even led to Mages being given command of whole armies, a state of affairs that is especially common for the armies of Saphery.
