The mages of Orthos are acute scholars and students of the arcane. All mages have different motivations, but what remains the same is the dedication to the mastery of the arcane art. The mage depends on high intelligence, comprehension, and his book smarts often, which a mage considers more important than common sense. Some mages have aspirations of power and conquest, while other mages have less dark and more selfless motivations, like using their knowledge to better the realms of Orthos. No matter if dark, twilight, or dawn., when a student of the arcane, through greater knowledge your star burns just as bright all the same. The mage is not always physically strong. Mages are often somewhat a frail in stature and weak in manner. Even through the given gift from the ever flowing current of magic, there is great strength found in reserves in their somewhat less than intimidating stature. They soar and search the realm of possibility, unlocking the mystifying craft: the wonders and dangers that lie in the wake of the Orthos mage.
