The Magisterium Magicum
With the rise of the new material Starrite, came the rise of magic users - and its devastational effects. In the hands of a novice, a firebolt could become a fireball, a chromatic orb would become an orb of annihilation.

Spearheaded by the archmage Aroneus, the human empire of Cleopheh gathered magic users from each of the peaceful races, and united them under one banner - the Magisterium. This organization would become influential in guiding and regulating the use of Starrite, as well as defending against the onslaught of Nighthumans and Gnomes to come later during the Grand Age.
They were responsible for creating The 7 Staves of Dominion and the crystal eventually responsible for The Cracking of Hope
