The Children of Castor
"You who know so little of magic are no safer than children."
Founded in the Age of Magic (-12 AOM), the Children of Castor was an organization originally created to defend humanity from the Ancient threat. The Children were the original followers of the human mage Castor Valensra. They were the survivors of the lands and towns surrounding the area which would later evolve into Valens, the City of Knowledge.
After Castor's "ascension" in 0 AOM, to avoid using the name of the new Father of Magic, the Children renamed themselves The Kastir. This is because the word "Kastir" in Morilanic means "Wielder," and as Castor once stated, they are the wielders of magic.
"If you are to become true wielders of magic, you must first understand the great danger of unsheathing such a weapon." — Castor ValensraThe Children were initially founded after Castor's defeat of the Ancient Hafir, Kin-Killer. Hafir's attacks on the small town of Salvage drew Castor and Kaysta's attention, and after their investigation and subsequent uncovering of the cause, the Ancient was slain by Castor in combat. These events inspired certain members of the community, Erlich Gottlis and Pasma Tash to apprentice themselves under the mage. As the four traveled to distant settlements experiencing supernatural or divine phenomena, they battled more Ancients and accepted more students, with Pasma eventually interpreting Castor's comment about their ignorance being like that of children literally, dubbing the group the Children. It wasn't until Castor and Kaysta discovered the Arch of the Son and its Ancient-repelling effects that the group settled in one place. Hearing of the group of mages who had taken up residence in an old ruin, many of the humans they saved along the way flocked to them, a town soon cropping up outside. Masons worked on the ruin, reconstructing a vast fortress that would later come to be known as The Citadel, the school of the Children. There are many servants who live within the Citadel but are not members of the Children, such as Kaysta's friends Sailia Salum and Mirah Remai, and the maker of meals, Davil Cook.
A Child is confident, yet humble, devoted, yet reserved, creative, yet patient, and loyal, yet aware.
