Eldritch Order of the Ur’Zaal Scrolls

The ancient archmage Ur’Zaal was one of the greatest and most powerful wizards the world has ever known. During his lifetime Ur’Zaal recorded his magical rituals and spellwork onto a collection of scrolls. After his death these scrolls were lost, scattered across the continent through travel, trade, and theft. Today, these parchments can be found in dragon’s lairs, treasure vaults, and private libraries. Their owners, however, are generally not aware of what they possess, as even those who practice magic lack the skills to decipher Ur’Zaal’s writings.

There is an order of mages, however, who do know how to read these scrolls – or parts of them, at least. Known as the Eldritch Order of the Ur’Zaal Scrolls, this society of about eighty magicians seeks to recover as many, if not all, of the ancient scripts as possible. Members of the Order seek to master the power once known to Ur’Zaal and his contemporaries but which is lost to today’s wizards and sorcerers. To that end, their primary goal is the recovery of all the scrolls by any means necessary. They are not an evil organization, but their desire for Ur’Zaal’s lost knowledge is incredibly great; so great that many of the steps they’ve taken to secure the few scrolls they have would generally be considered evil.
