"Throughout its history, some members of the Order of Hermes have stood out from their peers, whether for their brilliance or for their sheer stubborn pursuit of a goal. They are the legends of the Order, whose tales are still told and even emulated by lesser magi. And some of these powerful wizards have left legacies that have yet to be fully uncovered.

"Legends are never complete.

"This book details five such magi from across the Order's history: a brilliant researcher who extended Hermetic theory; a master of spirits; an advocate of peace on the eve of the Schism War; an obsessive constructor of magical defenses; and the flamboyant master of a flying castle. All have left treasures behind — treasures waiting to be found by living magi!"
