Amanuensis

Age of Princes
In -161 Tz, Caero is rebuilt after being sacked by an orcish horde led by Kzar Natan. Delphana wizards, with the support of the few remaining members of the Kosian noble class, take control of the ruined city of Caero. Wanting to preserve the Caeronn culture, the nobles take Caeronn's names, marry their children into the surviving Caeronn lines and ultimately reshape the city from within. Within a year, Caero declares itself a neutral merchant state, frees its slaves, and declares the era of the Kos at an end. Over the next three generations, the successful breeding of Delphane mages with Caeronn nobility results in a rash of Caeronn children able to wield powerful magics. The act of “freeing” Caero ultimately solidifies a pocket of Delphane control along the Roa Vizorr and guarantees the Delphanes an inland ally with substantial economic and military resources.

In -140 Tz, Delphane rises to power. Many leaders from the warring states now send their sons and daughters to Delphane or Caero so that their offspring can learn about the world from “civilized” teachers. Over the next 140 years, Delphane magic, law, and philosophy spread like wildfire throughout the human-controlled lands, eradicating the last vestiges of barbaric Kosian society
