The Ancient Coven

The Ancient Coven was a group of powerful magic users who came together during the Age of Kings, and ruled the city of Izero. Their group fell apart due to internal disagreements, and lust for power. There were five members of the Ancient Coven: the brothers Skar-Sin, Ner-Sin, and Fahra-Sin from Izir, Wicz the Wayfarer, and an unnamed fifth who nothing much is known about.
=== The Legend of the Ancient Coven ===
In -38.0 these five sorcerers came together and reached the agreement that they would all work for the betterment of mankind. They came together in the city of Izero, and became the immortal rulers of that city. They had the power to give their followers some of their power, and they taught the people how to make powerful magical items.
Over the next 500 years, the empire expanded. The sites of the cities of Alatheen, Azathica, and Byzarat were created. Until civil war broke out among the mages, each of which wanted to be the supreme ruler of the empire. Their conflict destroyed their cities, and when they saw that they’d reduced everything to rubble, they left. With the exception of Wicz, who stayed, to help rebuild.
300 years later, the empire had been rebuilt, but something had drastically shifted the nature of magic; the arrival of the dragons. The five individuals begrudgingly met up again to discuss what they were to do about this, and all other than Wicz agreed that the dragons needed to be killed. In a desperate attempt to gain enough power, they reached out to the gods, who were the only beings considered more powerful than the dragons. Skar-Sin performed a ritual to draw vast amounts of energy from the divine realm, turning him and his brothers into the first Dark ascended beings. The unnamed fifth became something far worse, in his pursuit of power he sabotaged one of the world anchors and created a gap, through which the ancient Unspeakable Ones could speak. He became the first voice of the Unspeakable Ones.
Zythia and Salvakoryn arrived at Izir, and admired the vast empire that had been created. They demanded that the people of this empire swear fealty to the dragons, but were suddenly assaulted by these four very powerful mortals. The battle lasted for days, and by the end of it the empire was destroyed once again, except for Izero which Wicz kept safe. At the end of the battle, all participents were exhausted and Wicz was very annoyed. She beat the four, taking advantage of their weakened state. All except the unnamed one managed to escape, and she locked him in a vault underneath Azathica.
