The Master Magicians of Sitia

She was the strongest magician in Sitia, and the leader of the Sitian Council. Her underworld guide was Ying Lung—a sky dragon. Like all the Master Magicians, Roze could use magic to move objects (including people), to heal or inflict physical harm, to light fires, for mental communication, and to read minds. Reading minds washer strongest skill and she was frequently called to interrogate criminals. Her control of fire was also the best in the land. When she was younger, she used to entertain her fellow students with fire dances—a complex ballet of individual flames set to music.

Roze was born in Robin's Nest, a small town in the Featherstone Clan lands. Her parents died when she was a child and she has no other living relatives. Statuesque, she had a powerful build, amber-colored eyes, and almost black skin. Her hair was pure white and cut into a military buzz cut. She liked to wear long cotton sleeveless dresses. Like all the Master Magicians, Roze never married and has no children.

Was the second most powerful magician in Sitia. As a member of the Sitian Council, he imparts wisdom and knowledge whether the Council members want it or not. His underworld guide is Fei Lian—a wind leopard. His strongest magical skill is mental communication. His range of communication with other magicians is much further than the other Masters. He enjoys history and is the reigning expert in Sitia's long history. He also loves to document current events in Sitia for future generations.

He was born in the Red Hills of the Bloodgood Clan lands. The youngest of three sons, Bain would rather read than play. His fondness for long, brightly colored robes has earned him the nickname of Wizard. His curly white/gray hair is frequently unkempt and messy.

Third most powerful magician in Sitia, Zitora is the youngest of the Masters. Her underworld guide is Kioh Twan—a unicorn. Her strongest magical skill is being able to control other people's minds and bodies. While she won't control a person's mind unless absolutely necessary, she will freeze them for self-defense. She abhors violence and spent much time avoiding the weapons training required for the Keep's students. Zitora is very sweet and has a difficult time earning respect from her fellow magicians and trust from her fellow Masters.

She was born in Booruby, the capital of the Cowan Clan lands. She was raised by her older sister and has no memory of her parents. Her hair is very long and honey-brown in color and matches her skin tone. She has pale yellow-colored eyes and is as cute as a kitten, which doesn't help her in being taken serious.

Last of the Masters in power, Irys brings a serious determination to the Sitian Council. Her underworld guide is Pyong—a hawk, which matches her no nonsense personality. Irys's strongest magic is healing, both mental and physical. She is the only magician able to sneak into Ixia without being caught, and has set up a whole other persona when she's in Ixia as a hawk mistress. She keeps in top physical condition and enjoys hunting with her red-tailed hawks.

Born in the tiny port town of Pearl Bay, Irys is the oldest child of two girls. Her younger sister, Lily is married with four children and lives a few blocks from their parents. Irys has black shoulder-length hair that is always pulled into a severe bun. Her almond-shaped eyes are emerald green and her skin has a beautiful bronze tone.
