In 889 ACC, a mob of more than one hundred revolutionary magic users, including Metas, Malefici, and Runestones raided the home of Velho, Master of Magic, and killed him after he had offered them a compromise peace. He had spent the Uprising trying to mediate between the insurgents and the kingdoms.
His death was the single most galvanizing event of the Uprising’s final phase: the killing of the Master of Magic by the very faction that claimed magic users should rule the world.
