History
The sixth Council of Princes elected a sorcerer of Saphery as the new king. [1a]
He began the construction of a great tower of learning which would take a thousand years to construct. At the same time he founded the order of Loremasters of Hoeth and the Swordmasters began their guardianship of the scholars and mages of the tower. [1a]
Shortly after the tower was completed he died and was buried in the foundations - his ghost still assists scholars on occasion. [1a]
His sword is usually mounted at the tip of the White Tower absorbing the energies of the sun, but is also used by Belannaer in battle. [2a]
