The White Mage Council of the Great War
The Upper Table
Lylis [ Female ] Never quiet, but often reserved, Lylis is a voice of reason and compassion who easily understands the position and needs of others. She is an expert at diplomacy and the magic of presence, a trait which earned her a spot on the upper table almost immediately despite the fact that her brother is older and has served with the White Council longer – but as a member of the lower table.
Viligau [ Male ] Old, but still quick of mind, Viligau makes use of himself as a teacher in the oft-mocked School of Emotion or “School of Love.” There, he continues to explore the dichotomy between the magic of emotional control and the stream of emotional power. Viligau rose to power within the White Council as an expert of the magic of logic, a root to the diplomatic magics most often employed by the White Countil. This background gives him an ordered perspective as he explores and teaches the nuances of emotion magic.
Sa [ Female ] The youngest of the White Mages present at the upper table, Sa has proven her ability in elemental magic. Never satisfied with what she already knows, Sa pursues continued exploration into the elements with vigor and intensity. Her fascination with elemental magic is unique in the White Council, as most of the White Mages tend to view elemental magic as primitive and brutish compared to the sophistication and subtlety present in the other schools. Sa thus fulfills a much-needed role in the White Council as an advocate and monitor for the schools of elemental magic. She oversees both the School of Lesser Elemental Magic and the School of Greater Elemental magic.
Ilsodar [ Male ] Kind and giving, Ilsodar exemplifies the traits required for an expert in Life Magic. He is a selfless mage who is always conscientious of the needs which surround his particular field of expertise. Life Magic is essential to the outreaches of Dour Gujhest and Ilsodar delegates its resources with profundity and care. He has long been an example to all other mages of the intelligence and wisdom necessary in the exercise of magical ability.
Kitcau [ Male ] The acting representative of the magic of logic, Kitcau is known to often defer to the insights of his fellow expert Viligau in matters relating to logic. This is never to be taken as a weakness in Kitcau, though, as he is the most predominant and outstanding figure to emerge with expertise in the field of Logic Magic. Kitcau remains mostly reserved about his own personal opinions, often being seen to make recommendations that go starkly against what he might feel is the better course. He takes his discipline seriously and always seeks to make use of it for the good of others in any way possible.
