      |  Ages ago, when the mortals of the Realms were still            |
      |  experimenting with magic, a coven of archmages deemed that the |
      |  use of magic needed to be learned and controlled to avoid      |
      |  terrible disasters. Thus the Guild of Mages was created along  |
      |  with the High Tower of Sorcery. After many attacks from the    |
      |  beings of Darkness, the mages also found it necessary to weave |
      |  a powerful grove of shadows around the Tower, so that only the |
      |  stoutest adventurers could reach them. Since that time, the    |
      |  Mages of Despair, led by the powerful Mistress of Magic, have  |
      |  attempted to grasp the idea of magic and understand how it     |
      |  truly works. Through all this, the Guild has gained such       |
      |  respect that Duke Luther has permitted the building of a       |
      |  Tower of Sorcery in Darkhaven.                                 |

      |                                                                 |
