Keldar's Army

Keldar's Army was a militant faction of The Aurimbic Tradition that emerged during the reign of Grehe Eannelk, aligning politically with his northern agenda in the early Sunset Empire (598-361). Comprised of Aurimbic mages loyal to Grehe, the group believed the Tradition had long been marginalized within The Council of Landezon, receiving little political power or influence compared to southern magical orders like the Berythians and Nurhetics. Though the Aurimbics traditionally embraced an eremitic and contemplative lifestyle, Keldar's Army sought to rectify what they saw as a systemic imbalance, pushing for greater representation and clout for northern mages. They were driven by a desire to elevate the status of northerners within the empire, both mundane and magical, while advocating for the Aurimbics’ right to wield greater political power. Despite their short-lived existence, Keldar's Army represented a rare moment when Aurimbic practitioners abandoned their reclusive stance in favor of militant action, marking a turbulent chapter in the Tradition's history.
