Many years ago, when the mage's feared guilds reached the height of their power, their influence did not stop at borders ¸ or gates. Their eyes saw hidden places ¸, their ears heard secret conversations ¸, their minds invented intrigues ¸ to sow strife and feign friendship ¸ in order to satisfy the desires of their financiers or even their own for growing strength and accumulated knowledge. Counts ¸, princes and kings were often shadows of their will in the clutches of foreign magicians.

However, when the ties between the guilds and the rulers were torn apart ¸ and the rulers felt defenceless against each other as well as against the mages ¸ they saw their power flowing away with the guilds ¸ and many of them swore ¸ to take revenge on the faithless wizards ¸ who had richly rewarded them for decades. They felt betrayed and incited the citizens against the guilds ¸ to drive them out of the country for their alleged betrayal.

Before the magicians became aware of the new situation ¸, the suffering people had found their culprits ¸ and they stormed into the guild houses with the new laws behind them ¸, devastated the furnishings and burned down ¸ what seemed magical and damned to them. The anger ¸ that had built up through the countless wars of the kings and the resulting poverty and misery ¸ finally vented itself in this persecution. The captors mercilessly followed the magicians to the last corners ¸, dragged them out of their hiding places and put an end to their activities. The guilds were unable to counter the concentrated indignation of the common people ¸, who had fought for them in their name for decades ¸.

So the remaining ones fled to Bekal-Burudos.
