History

The Archmage rank was first created and granted to Azul Weiss, who is known for assisting Riyoku Tasogare, the Shadow Twilight against the Cult of Rebellion, and invented the Portal Keys, a portable version of the Portal Gates exclusively for the guild leaders and the Rune Council. After Azul's induction as the first Archmages, four more were inducted during Riyoku's era. And as the era changed, many Archmages were promoted with the stories of the past scattered in the form of tablets to share their achievements with the worlds.

Cultural Significance

Due to stories about Azul along with the other Archmages in the Twilight area, many of the Mages in Core respected them as their role models and inspiration for their studies. Some stories were etched into stone tablets scattered in many worlds to share their achievements with foreign protectors and Mages.
