Thought of as perhaps the archetypical arcanist, Archmage Julius Tevren was one of the most influential and prolific magi in history. His almost preternatural insight into the nature of mana and its manipulation led to a number of key advances in arcane theory that to this day define wizardry. Among his known deeds are founding the College of Magi in Old Nied, and defeating Azilack along with the other Heroes of Vegrholl. Although he specialized in conjuration, there was no field of magic for which Tevren did not display a keen mastery of; save for Necromancy, which only truly came to be considered a school of arcane magic a few months before Tevern's mysterious disappearance. He has never been found, and some suspect he was murdered by Baron Vincent, who was a known pupil of his.
