The Seven Sons of Apathy

Apathy is defined as a lack of interest, enthusiasm or concern. Generally speaking, apathetic people are perceived to be lazy, listless and without direction. But that all depends on what you're apathetic to. The Seven Sons herald back to just after the collapse of the Old Lords and their almost instant exit from the land. Quintz, unlike most other Lord's cities came under the powerful spell of tinification and became cut off from the known world. For a while, there was turmoil, and Chaos reigned in Quintz as citizens used to obeying orders found themselves free for the first time in their lives. From that maelstrom of freedom, the wizards attempted to create order. Some, like the founding members of the Seven Sons, wanted to escape the spell. Others relished the spell's safety. But when the wizards found they couldn't escape, that the east and west causeways led to an impenetrable mana shield, divisions within their ranks deepened.

Upon discovering that the library was also under a charm of forgetfulness, the wizards travelled to Camelot, where they found an abandoned castle. It was in its great banner room, where Arthur14579's table sat and where the knights of that table met, that the wizards witnessed the floating head of Arthur14579. The head delivered an edict. It told of the Ten Powers of the Old Lords and how Arthur bequeathed the wizards all their knowledge on one condition: they had to master them one at a time. The wizards hurried away, sure that unravelling the library's charm would reveal the first ward.

Years past with no progress. During that time, the Seven Sons of Apathy were born. Seven wizards ceased their study of the illusive wards. They stated they had no interest in the Old Lord's ways and that new powers should be sought. Their apathy towards the old powers lent them their name, but make no mistake, of all the sects, the Seven Sons are the most industrious. They delve deep under the city, in its caverns and caves, and they seek out dark powers hunting old Lord's haunts for their dire armors and magical influencers. Few are outwardly hostile to the Seven Son's Sect. Some fear them. All are wary.

The Seven Sons of Apathy are an unknown quantity. They are biding their time, but for what? well, that is the question.

It is widely accepted the Raymond Wallace is not the true leader of the Seven Sons, but he is their figurehead and sometimes even attends council meets. Raymond is also rumored to be a manifestation of one of the original sons, although this has never been confirmed. Whether one or all of the founding members of the sect is alive is unknown. What is known is that their halls are most welcoming, and though most aspiring wizards see a path that follows the edicts of Arthur14579, those that don't, or those that become disillusioned, are soon swept up and lost to the secretive sect.
