The Elemental Magisters

[Matthew M. Colville]

When modifying Birthright, many of the changes any of us make are
specific to Birthright. Some of them, however, could be inserted into
any campaign world.

The Elemental Magisters, while being an addition to my Birthright
world, could be added to any campaign setting. They are especially
interesting for high-level Birthright priests who want something to
quest for, or aspire to:


On the ancient continent of Aduria there were four powerful
Mage-Priests who safeguarded the Earth from desecration. Each adopted
a profile based on one of the four elements.

Over hundreds of years the Shadow, from which mankind eventually
fled, warred with the Elemental Magisters until only one of them
remained: the Earthen Magister. Hidden from Shadow, deep in a
primodial jungle, the Last Elemental Magister marshalled his strength.
The Shadow, however, proved more patient than any mortal and eventually
found the Hidden Magister who succumed to despair.

The Last Elemental Magister was dead and his artifacts lay with
him. In the thousands of years since, his temple must have been
raided, for his Mace and his Armor has since surfaced. . .but his
Throne, the seat of his power, is immovable and lies in an hidden
temple, in an unknown jungle, waiting for a worthy supplicant to imbue
with the lost knowledge of the Last Elemental Magister. . .


The Mace of the Last Elemental Magister:

The Mace functions as a +4 weapon with the following abilities, each
usable once per week:

Legion Of Dead

Stronghold

Warding

Bless Unit (up to 12 units)


The Mace also functions as a Ring Of Earth Elemental Command.

Well, you know as much as I do. I made that up, gave the mace to
one of my players (Trevan, Cardinal of the Militant Order of Cuiraec=E9n) wh=
o
digs it like crazy.

I imagine of an Aduria expansion came out, he could go there and
try and find the Temple of the Last Elemental Magister, and assume his
portfolio.
