Gunderic Manor: A History

In a family marked by tragedy and ill fortune, Geoffrey Gunderic - the 6th of his line - was perhaps the lone exception. He was widely respected by his comrades in the Legion, who appointed him Grand Mage in the year 960. During his tenure, he established a rigorous system of education for mage apprentices and offered his own family's estate as a magical academy for the Legion.
Throughout the following centuries, Gunderic Manor served the Legion as a training ground for apprentice mages. Probably its most famous alumnus was the traitorous Grand Mage, Olvis - rumored to be the illegitimate son of Rossal Gunderic and a Lescanzi witch.
During the Affair of the Goblin Pretender, Olvis's close disciples seized control of Gunderic Manor. The new Grand Mage, Merik, had little choice bu tot liberate the manor by force. After that, Gunderic Manor acquired a somewhat darker reputation, and most Legion mages chose to study at the Stonebridge Collegium instead.
