Lore:Firstmages
The Firstmages were a group of powerful mages that resided in Aetherian Archive in Craglorn. Said to be unparalleled in the arcane arts, they began to occupy the tower in the First Era and it was here that they found the Great Source, which granted the Firstmages long lives. This allowed them to study indefinitely, and many of their magical experiments took place in the archive's upper floors.[1][2]
When the Celestial Mage arrived during the Interregnum, her very presence destroyed the Great Source. Many of the Firstmages entered her service as guardians and began to worship her, although a small minority avoided the upper floors in fear of their lives.[3][4] The Undaunted were made aware of the opening of the Archive, and flocked to the tower in an attempt to be the first to scale it. The Undaunted ascended the tower and fought through the Mage's guardians before defeating the Celestial herself in battle. [5]
