High Magus Aelerion is the head of the Council of Magi. Son of Aeleris, he learned a great deal of magic from his father, and has learned more since. He is widely regarded as wise and learned, for he has read many tomes and more mundane books besides giving him a massive repository of wisdom to draw from. Magi are the wisest and most powerful magicians of the elves the nine of them acting as their governing body. Magi serve as long as they wish, until they step down or die. Then the council will pick a new Magi from the magicians that show promise, typically via testing them.
