Grand Magister Crovan was a powerful mage and principal player in ending the Lilac Wars, helping put his fellow Wexonard, Lothane síl Wex on the throne of the Empire of Anbennar.
History[]
Early Life[]
It isn't know where Crovan was born however according to contemporary sources he was a Wexonard and like many other talented and influential mages of the time he was taken into the Magisterium to study at the Imperial Academy at a young age to make use of his talents. He would later graduate from the academy and spend some time in the Magisterium until he was voted to lead it in 1419 at the age of 33 making him one of the youngest leaders of the Magisterium.
Political Life[]
Crovan's reign as grand magister began at the end of The Third Lilac War and just one year later after the death of Vincen "the Old Owl" Silmuna and the beginning of the Fourth Lilac War Crovan would help change Cannorian history. The Silmuna Family halted the election process after the death of Vincen so Adenn "Skylance" Silmuna could rush home, getting there a day before the election. Adenn's Silmuna forces were ambushed by Lorentish and Wexonard forces and betrayed by many of his former allies in The Battle of the Moon Council. It isn't known how much Crovan was involved in the betrayal but many modern scholars believe that his installment at such a young age and subsequent dealings with the new emperor were likely signs of conspiracy and political maneuvering. Following The Invasion of Damesear and the end of the war Crovan and the Magisterium was granted control over the western half of the Isle of Damesear.
