The King had always surronded himself with the bright sparks of the age; During the war, this had been Generals like Ithauer and The Knight. After the War it was a host of advisors; philsophers, priests, aristocrats.
These were not names that had were lauded by the common folk; Thaier for instance; reformed the Census tax, removeing corruption from the system, and making the process more streamlined. Went on to write a treatise; Wealth and Peoples; which has infulences many peoples since.
This is not a name small children hear at bedtime.
These brilliant men and women are for a different day; Today we focus on one Known as the Magi. Important for this person made a tranistion between advisor to Warrior.
The Story of the Magi is secrative; Began tutiton as a priest on the isles of Kehx, became proficient and moved up the ranks. At some point The Magi contacted the Prince, feeling that such a friend could be helpfull.
Shortly afterward A Holy Order of Knights; known as the Magi was founded, A Padaldin would be a rather simplistic translation, but it will do. One of the more Odd things about this order was that their face was always covered. Visor held down. Otherwise they served as theologians and The King tied them to his title as Defender of the faith.
Few questioned the prupose of creating a Holy Order of Knights when the war had ended, but more asked who they were.
Sileus; The Kings son, learnt tenents of warfare and other philosophies. Still a young boy, and still quite naive. The Knight was patient, but still wore his Black armour, the young boy was a serious student, but loud, questioning and argumentative.
Sileus jumped up onto the Knight. Looked through the visor, placed his hand on The Knights chest and said "You hurt....here, did you lose something? Whats wrong?". "Sometimes it is better to be silent so you may study your opponants, and yourself," The Knight replied; repeating something Ithauer had once said to him.
The Knight was still suprised by how perceptive he was.
