Archmage

Archmage is title awarded to exceptionally skilled mages. It sees most use by those who hail from or operate within the violet city of Daramaar. High elves, who boast the most prolific arcane tradition outside of Darmaar, prefer to use Magister/Maigstrix for their archmage equivalents.

While the term archmage can be used to describe powerful spellcasters, it is generally looked down upon to call oneself an "archmage" without the proper recognition from the Violet Council. Instead, many skirt around this technicality by calling themselves "archmaster" or "highmage".

Shadow Name
Most archmagi take on a shadow name, a pseudonym designed to protect them from sympathetic magics. Most archmages tend to use their shadow name in all company, save for only the most trusted of their lieutenants. Many of the mage towers located across the world are named according to the shadow name of the archmage who built it.
