Arch-Magister Zirren

''Tall and willowy this elegant figure is swathed from head to foot in a drift of black silk robes. A close-fitted coif of the same black silk leaves only a pale emotionless face and delicate spidery hands as the only skin on display. Almond shaped eyes, the violet irises of which so large as to eclipse the whites clearly identify their owner as an elf. Clusters of small black gems, stitched in geometric swirls and patterns embellish the torso of the robes and a gold and platinum brooch clasped at the shoulder identify this wearer as the Arch-Magister of Thorn.'' Magister Zirren was formerly the Warden of the Witchlight Spire on Candlemere, responsible for the upkeep and running of the Magisters' headquarters. In Kuthona 4713AR he was promoted to the position of Arch-Magister after his predecessor, Magister Vladimir, stepped-down.

Little is known of Zirren's background before he arrived in Thorn other than that he was born in Kyonin and that is where he learned much of his Art. It is known he travelled to the Stolen Lands to investigate signs of ancient elven habitation of the region and that whilst there he encountered the Domain of Thorn. His reasons for staying are unknown.

Many find Zirren aloof and distant but none can dispute his skill. An accomplished arcane artisan and conjuror one of his main previous roles was the research of new spells and magical items. He is particularly keen on the development of practical magic such as glowing streetlights and self-mending furniture. Zirren prefers to spend his time in the Witchlight Spire but duty requires that he resides in Stagshelm when the Grand Magister is away on business. This tends to be more often than he likes, claiming that the bustle of Stagshelm gives him migraines. Despite this Zirren is dedicated to the Magisters. Although not well loved by his fellows he is respected for his skill and intelligence.
