Gareth
| | This wise mage is so old, that no one alive can even remember when or how he got his powers. He had been taking care of the country for hundreds and hundreds of years, although he rarely used his majick. The last time he publicly used it was during the great earthquake, about 50 years before the calling; in other words, approximately 75 years before the present. He warned King Polon, Marck’s grandfather, ahead of time and saved many lives by supplying food and shelter after the shock.
Gareth had almost complete knowledge in five of the Six Majick Fields: Water, Spirit, Nature, Fire and Mind. His knowledge of the sixth field, whose purpose is unknown to most, was greater than anyone alive at the time. No human yet has figured all secrets of all six fields; but Gareth certainly came as far ahead in the research as anyone in the history of the Lion Kingdom. Gareth possessed all six Power Stones, that hold awesome forces if used correctly.
Gareth lived in a well-kept stone building that was known by all as Gareth’s Abode.
The kind, wise old man loved all five of his apprentices like his children during the four years of their training. Near the end of the four years, when Gareth was dying, he gave each of them their own Power Stone, and instructed them to bury him with the sixth stone.
