Sage
The 12 Sages are immortal beings of immense power. At the dawn of existence, the Creator God Natura bestowed upon them Words of Will which give them the ability to govern one of the 12 aspects of reality.
Sometime ago, mortals identified individuals with unique birth marks that had the ability to commune with the Sages. These individuals came to be known as Speakers and are seen as the Sages' ears and voice in the mortal world.
No mortal, other than their respective Speaker, has ever seen or spoken to a Sage in person.
It has been told that no single Sage can manipulate their aspect of reality unless all 12 Sages reach a consensus, upon which the results occur immediately and the world enters a new era.
The last Consensus occurred over 2,000 years ago, and was the 24th time the Sages have amended one of the aspects. The 24th Consensus resulted in mortals to no longer possess innate magical ability, and must instead resort to channeling magic through incantations or an arcane focus.

History
It is believed the Sages have existed since the creation of Encopia, and possibly the universe.
Their existence is known due to accounts from Speakers, mortals born with a unique birth mark and can communicate directly with a Sage.
Speakers have not seen a Sage in the physical sense - though some have claimed, but the descriptions are inconsistent - and their interactions with them are described as a very deep sense of understanding.
