Didn't Earc poo-poo the idea of forming a guild—or joining the one Pendleton proposed long ago?Alethan wrote:Well... Earc might be interested in joining, but he would put his name in for the above position, all things considered. He has 12 1st level spells, 3 2nd level spells, and 3 3rd level spells to his name. And a tower. And produces his own growth potion. All at just Level 6.
"Oh, I suppose I could join, if you let me run it."
I'd suggest that Earc is keeping busy enough with his own tower. He's more than welcome as a founding member, but having the same wizard running his own tower and ths guild seems like it would spread Earc awfully thin and further shift the balance of power Earc's way a bit much.
Plus, the guild's tower is kind of a reward for Pendleton, Idriss, and Ablesforth closing the demon hole. On that basis, Pendleton or Idriss have the strongest claims to becoming Archmage, IMO.
