Moleman 09-08-07, 05:25 PM	Hi. I'm starting a campaign in Arm and need info in the Cowled Wizards as i'm sure at least one of my players will be a mage of some sort... I've played Baldur's Gate II and know they are responsible for controlling magic use in Arm. But How much power do they hold? How did they come into being? and what is their real agenda? Control over Arm? It seems odd that a group of spellcasters would set up shop i an region that distrusts all mages so. Are they left overs from the mage colleges who were partially responsible for the chaos that started Arm's distrust off mages? Something about rouge mages fighting and colleges of magic unleashing plagues on the land... How have you played the distrust of mages in your campaign(If you've played in Arm)?
