Archmage Neto Aphobis

Backstory
*A tower constructed upon an unstable leyline in the land of exiles.

This was a dream of a young Stygian obsessed with the secrets of the Arcane and unnatural. Years and years passed, and this obsession only grew. It grew to the point he was forced into the Exiled Lands. Exiled for things long forgotten.

''A tower with purpose. To observe. To contain. To teach.''

Neto Aphobis believed the knowledge he had discovered and researched should be able to be taught to those that wished to learn. Gradually, this tower that eventually gained the name of Apep’s Nest became a beacon for those interested in the arcane and the ability to manipulate it.

With a name in place, followers soon came to assist the Mage in his dreams.

One by one, individuals came to Apep’s Nest. Not just for the knowledge, but for the chance to help Mage Aphobis. Soon the Nest became a home to the Brood and Neto Aphobis was its head.

''With a tower, a dream, and a Brood of a family, research became easier. Knowledge was gained. And a title earned.''

Archmage Neto Aphobis, the founder of Apep’s Nest, accomplished his goal and created a tower of learning. A Mages Faction that held open its doors to everyone as long as you wished to learn the ways of the Arcane. Those who betray this welcoming hospitality, were quickly dealt with and escorted from the Nest, either still breathing or lack thereof.

''Apep’s Nest, an Arcane Tower that sits upon an unstable leyline. Apep’s Nest, a place for learning. Apep’s Nest, home to Archmage Neto Aphobis, his Brood, and those that wish to master the Arcane. The Nest is open and welcomes you.''

When the everlasting night plagued the land of Exiles, Aphobis and his Brood helped conjure a portal to an Island not that far from the lands they called home. With the others that formed the Edifice Penta, the leaders of the other factions, guided those that welcomed assistance to this new land. As soon as his boots touched the sand, Aphobis knew what must be done.

''A home was needed. The Brood needed its nest. And, so a new nest was born. A grander tower of the same name. The isle’s Apep’s Nest rose.''
