Almeus the Young

Was the tutor of Zarisstan and one of the greatest Wizards humankind has ever known. He discovered the principals of Sorcery after he seized the throne of Paolus, First King of Brethild. From arcane grimoires of the Deathless Empire, Almeus learned of the Elvish efforts to create Runestones and took up the cause himself. While he was unable to create runestones, he was able to tap into the stored mana of objects placed at the intersections of ley lines as well as other ways to trap mana within the substance of particular grades of stone or metal. Thus were born the rings, talismans and powerstones so prized by wizards and channelers alike. Two centuries later, Almeus devised the first Sigils. He is seen as the father of sorcery.
