WIND
In earlier times folk in the Empire shunned magic,
believing it inherently evil. Wizards were violently
persecuted, with Sigmarite priests condemning them as
the consorts of Daemons. Primitive magicians sought
safety in the countryside, yet witch hunters rooted them
out and many were burned at the stake.
In 2302 IC things changed. This was the time of the
Great War against Chaos, when an army of marauders
swept from the North to lay waste to the Old World. The
horde posed such a terrible peril that Humans, Elves, and
Dwarfs coordinated their efforts to defy it.
Teclis, most accomplished of High Elf Mages, travelled
to the Empire at the request of Magnus the Pious. He
sought out fugitive hedge wizards and taught them
rudimentary spells of fire and lightning. Teclis explained
that all magic was derived from Chaos and was invariably
tainted but could be controlled by a trained practitioner.
He demonstrated that eight sorcerous winds blew from
the Realm of Chaos and provided energies that fuelled
distinct magical practices.
Staunch Sigmarites were outraged that Magnus extended
tolerance to practitioners of sorcery, but Teclis was
persuasive. The new breed of wizards played a vital role
in defeating the Chaos horde, and Magnus was crowned
Emperor of the land of Sigmar.
Upon his ascension to the throne, Magnus asked Teclis to
create an institution to train wizards, and the Colleges of
Magic were established in Altdorf. For each wind Teclis
founded a separate school of magic. He judged the human
mind inadequate to master all eight Winds of Magic but,
with careful study, he believed Humans could glean the
fundamentals of a single wind.
Today each of the Colleges forms the headquarters of one
of the eight Orders of Magic in the Empire. The sorcery
of each is different from the others, yet all are aspects of
the great and terrible source of all magic — Chaos itself.
