[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 2101827, member: 13966"] Here, my contribution will help clear up why there's apparently so few Masks and other arcane casters in Eyros proper.......because most arcanists are sent to occupy conquered territories that aren't integrated into Eyros proper. Contribution: One of the Oaths that many elven Masks are sworn to is the Enforcer Oath. Masks sworn to this Oath are sent to occupied territories where Eyros holds mostly token control but nonetheless conquered already. Enforcer Masks are kept in 12-person phalanxes where they learn to work as a unit and protect eachother from hostile conquered peoples. They take up posts in the occupied realms and police them, memorizing Eyrian laws and enforcing them upon the newly-subjugated populace. Enforcer Masks are controlled through a much more powerful version of the other well-known Oaths, one that extends beyond Eyros' normal range of control, but requires somewhat expensive components, significant time to activate, and potent enchanters to cast. Nonetheless Enforcer Masks are the most numerous, numbering at 1,800, as the Sovereignty tries to maintain a solid grasp on the nations it conquers. Enforcer Masks currently occupy many of the lands most recently taken from Ghalfaen, Nistadeen, Indracca, and Saagersberg in the past thousand years or so. They are also often sent to range outside the borders and scout out barbarian lands or Kwlloch to keep the Dominion informed. Many die on these scoutings. Enforcer Masks are also often used for sailing missions to try and find new territories or fight off pirates, but the poor naval skills of most Eyrians generally leads these expeditions to disaster. Unfortunately, the same powerful enchantments that control the minds of Enforcer Masks also impedes their own magical abilities, as the enchantments must keep the Enforcer Masks from gaining too much mental power else they gradually grow beyond the control, during their long stay outside the controlling aura of Eyros. Consequently, these potent enchantments wear upon the mind and sanity of Enforcer Masks as they grow older and more powerful, so Enforcer Masks never reach any significant heights of personal power before their psyche cracks under the stress, and they usually end up commiting suicide or simply being executed for radical behavior. Enforcer Masks typically live a few hundred years before dying of this madness, and the Praes Thanatos has yet to find a solution to the degrading effects of these potent, long-range enchantments......but maybe they don't want a solution found.....
