I'm in the process of having the Magian take over the world (that old chestnut) as a backdrop to an Anuire game and it seemed to me that the logical place to start would be with the fighter-classed awnsheilgn right on his doorstep. Ya know, start small with someone in a small realm that no one much cared for or had an interest in. Then, with some experience and a victory under his belt the Magian would go on to challenge more serious countries.

However, after reading the Minotaur section in Cities of the Sun I was a bit suprised that it lists Maalvar as having sources -- every spare source slot available in his domain in fact -- and being a "competent sorceror" despite having no levels in anything save fighter.

Erg?

Am I missing something here?
