The Descendants of Galdur

A powerful organization of mages dedicated to the God of Magic, Logic and Wisdom, Galdur. It is generally a human-centered organization, but they accept members of any race provided they qualify. The Descendants of Galdur do not generally interfere in politics, nor do they solve simple problems. They are dedicated entirely to advancing magic in Narlathia, and only share it with those they deem worthy to become a Descendant. The Descendants are known for being extremely powerful, many of them being able to extend their lifespans from a hundred years to over thousands.

They are reputed to be so powerful, that if the Three Empires collaborated and attacked them, they would defeat the Descendants, but their empires would be reduced to mere counties.

The Descendants spite The Yarvulari most of all, due to their conflicting ideologies and history of centuries of conflict between them. As a result, the Descendants do not tolerate darker magics, instead preferring to focus on Arcane magics, Dunamancy, Incarnum for the sake of controlling it, Pact magic, Truename magic, and other general Ritual magics. They shun Necromancy and Shadow magics, and although they don 't hate the magic, they prefer not to practice Divine magic, stating that individuals who seek the Descendants to learn more of this sort of magic are better off serving as a church boy.

The Descendants of Galdur are currently lead by a man nicknamed Kýrios. Not much is known about him, except for the fact that he is a no-nonsense man who doesn't seem to care for much outside Descendant business, and is most likely one of the most powerful people currently alive, reputed to have duelled Galdur himself and earned his favour. The only fact that is known about him, is that he has lived for over 1200 years. He is said to be a Northman, which is an extreme rarity, as Northmen generally don't practice magic.
