The High Enchanter

The High Enchanter is the head of Arnast’s most prestigious magehold. Certainly the most powerful living mage, he is arguably also the most powerful mage seen since the fall of the Saadeth Imperium. The High Enchanter is one of the most rare breed of mages: those who seem to have a natural talent for spellcasting of all kinds. Combined with his lifetime of study in the magehold of Threfall, this natural talent affords him incredible magical power and knowledge. He uses this power to aid the Silver King and the citizens of Arnast by devising magical weapons to strike down the kingdom’s foes and developing new magical rituals and spells for purposes ranging from aiding in the safe passage of ships through stormy seas to warding villages against undead and barbarians. Though he is an incredibly powerful mage, he cannot be everywhere at once, and thus most of his tasks are accomplished by members of his own order, hired adventurers, or spells and rituals able to be learned and cast by other mages.

Allies
The High Enchanter swears fealty to the Silver King and often aids him in projects or undertakings with magical means. He is the only Icon with a good working relationship with the Librarian, and the two keep up a frequent exchange of knowledge and lore. He is intrigued by the abilities and creations of the Forge Master, although the Forge Master himself is notoriously secretive and does not often trouble himself with the doings of other beings regardless of their status.

Enemies
The Pirate Lord, as an enemy of kingdom, is also an enemy of the High Enchanter. Though the two have never clashed directly, the High Enchanter is ultimately responsible for more than one notable victory over the Pirate Lord by the forces of the Silver King, something the Pirate Lord is not likely to forget or forgive any time soon. While the Necromancer has yet to clash in a meaningful way with anyone, public opinion holds that when he inevitably does so, the High Enchanter will of course be at the forefront of the efforts to stop him.
