Water Mages
The Water Mages are the magical circle affiliated with the New Camp. Like the Fire Mages of the Old Camp, they were among the original mages involved in raising the Barrier, but they broke away after the ritual went wrong.
Goal
Where the Fire Mages sided with the Crown and the ore trade, the Water Mages sided with the rebels of the New Camp. Their single running project is finding a way to break the Barrier and let the Colony's prisoners leave, which is why the New Camp funnels its ore toward them rather than trading it out.
Structure
The Water Circle is led by Saturas. Lares is one of his senior mages, and day-to-day political authority at the top of the New Camp is shared between Saturas and the rebel commander Lee. This dual leadership is what gives the New Camp its more decentralised feel compared to Gomez's rule over the Old Camp.
