Magnus and the Defeat of Artemis Wyrm
PDFThe Time of Nightmares
The renegade archmage Artemis Wyrm arises in the chaos following Venn's collapse and establishes the precedent that the Orders must regulate all magic-users of Kyrell without exception. He is defeated by Magnus, a Grey-Robed Wizard and companion to Weohstan, who dies in the battle unarmed. In his memory, the Orders adopt the ceremonial dagger as a symbol — not of violence, but of scholarly dedication and commitment to one's Order above all.
