EDICT OF ARCANE PURSUIT [270 S.A]

EDICT OF ARCANE PURSUIT

A ROYAL DECREE FROM THE THRONE OF IDUNIA

---

To all who bear courage within their hearts and wisdom in their minds, let it be known across the breadth of our blessed realm:

The High King of Idunia, by the grace of God-Aeradar and the ancient covenant of our fathers, does hereby issue forth a summons most urgent.. Within the hidden corners of our kingdom, beyond the veil of common sight and into the depths of legend itself, there dwells one spoken of only in whispered tales;

THE HIGH WIZARD OF IDUNIA.

Known by some as the Keeper of Ancient Words, the Walker Between Worlds, and to the eldest among us as one whose power rivals that of sorcerer (>>MERLIN<<) of yore, this enigmatic sage has withdrawn from the courts of men. His tower stands somewhere in the wild places, shrouded by mist and enchantment, visible only to those whom fate has chosen.

The realm has great need for his counsel. We seek to beseech his aid in this hour of uncertainty. Too, would the nature of his presence bring clarity to the unknown reaches of which our flock may not.

Should this great Wizard present himself before the throne, a tower shall be erected in his name; a sanctum of stone wherein he may engage with his magical ventures unfettered, supplied with all necessities that arcane study demands. These plans may be provided by the wizard, or erected by an assigned team of architects at the behest of the Crown.

Yet, still, let it be clear: the one who claims this mantle must meet certain criteria befitting such a title. He, or she, must demonstrate mastery over hidden arts, possess knowledge of the ancient tongues, and show wisdom tempered by the trials of long years. His loyalty must be to the realm and to God, Aeradar, above all powers. This will be tested over an elongated period of time, wherein their capability will indubitably be brought to its limits.

Furthermore, it is decreed that the one who would claim the title of the High Wizard of Idunia must present themselves in the traditional vestments of their craft-robes of wizardly make, be they adorned with celestial patterns, arcane sigils, or the simple dignity of scholarly cloth. Upon their head, they must bear a pointed hat, as is befitting the image passed down through the generations of this legendary tale. For what is a wizard without his robes and pointed cap? Such garb is not mere vanity, lest he be mistaken for a wandering hedge-mage or charlatan.

It is written within the history books of Idunia, in the accounts preserved by our most learned scholars, that the wizard of legend was notably—and most curiously—likely not an elf, despite the longevity and power attributed to his name. This detail, though peculiar to some, remains a matter of historical record and scholarly debate within our archives.

Therefore, let any being with clues, or any champion brave enough to seek him, come forth to the Palace of Minas Arador or send a bird to the High Court.

Bring word, bring map, bring any fragment of lore that might guide the search.

Cardinal Nerium smirked, squishing the round cap of his galero into a small point...

Valithael wiggled her brows as she began to carve a shunting circle into the ground.

Archie Mareno huffed, mounting his horse as he headed off in search.

[Wolfy-D 467]

A masked mage reads through the massive, deciding she would write to her favorite high elf to bother about magic questions to at least learn more about the magical clothes of many wizards and witches. Even if she didn't attempt to take the role, knowing more about the arcane is always a good thing.

 

Grimm finds himself reading the missive, wondering why it can't be an elf.

 

Icarus would finally find a second missive after accidentally setting the first one on fire, wondering aloud "would I count as a mage?" He sets off to clerify weather or not he is a mage, or simply naturally arcane.

[Frisket 4538]

“I’ll give it a shot, considering the last few mages that got close to the Tar or his family almost killed him…”

[!] Crude Posters began to find themselves plastered all around Alduun and, to a lesser extent, Adria.

[Baccaaa 490]

Uriella read the missive with scrutiny. Especially the part about a high voidal wizard not being of elven, no, high elven nature. An ancient human versed in ancient voidal knowledge and tongue is an oxymoron, atleast within her mind. But perhaps she'd satisfy the narrative and even heed the call of participation, for what better had one of the few mages of Idunia to do?

The oscillit looked upon the edict turning to her partner.... "Sometimes I feel like we're all on Auto-horse."

[Direswift 296]

the old man did not read the missive. Looking at the picture and finding it nice. he liked lions

[MrMojoMordor 2413]

"Every 10 yearz.." Bon'Ox sighs.

"Every zkahhin 10 yearz they flip between 'mojo bad' & 'mojo good'!" the goblin then crunches the missive between his hands & shakes it v i o l e n t l y - throwing a hissy fit as he tries to strangle the piece of paper.

A letter was sent back in response to the missive, two handwritings seen. One the simpler, messy handwriting of a child and another, looping in the extravagant cursive of one more used to the pen.
 

Hello! I am Clément. I am eight years old, I am a Mali'ker, and I want to try and see if I can study under whoever is going to be the High Wizard of Idunia. Please send a letter to me or my marn, Ythur, about this. I am very quick to study and I really really like god (I want to be a monk if I don't get this!). Have a good day!

I would like, first and foremost, to meet whomever is chosen for this position. I've no other comments to add, besides the simple fact that Clément is a very bright and energetic boy.
