Sartarius was the headmaster of the Order of Dawn residing in Greyfell. A wise man, he would be the first to instruct the Phoenix Bearer on her early tasks as a fighter of the order.
Biography
Early Life
The entirety of Sartarius' early life is entirely a mystery. It may be that he was familiar with the Circle Mage Rohen Tahir, as well as someone possessing a great deal of experience in life and politics, given that he was able to assume his position of Headmaster of the Order not long after its inception.
Battle for Fiara
The Phoenix Bearer first sought out Sartarius on the advice of Rohen. He was to help her find a foothold after years of slumber inside her rune, though their first meeting occurred more urgently than what both may have hoped for. Upon arrival, he was promptly presented with a casket the Phoenix Bearer had acquired on her way to the city, a casket supposedly containing military intelligence meant for the leaders of the Black First, an organisation that had recently started stirring up trouble for the Order.
Though they tried to open it, they weren't able to break the spell that held it shut, forcing Sartarius to send the Phoenix Bearer on her first task as a member of the order: bringing the casket to Rohen Tahir, as he was the only one capable of opening it. Before she went on her way, however, he assisted her by giving her free passage to Liannon, as well as a rune to aid her, along with filling her in on the changes that had happened in the world during her absence.
They would not meet again until after Rohen's death. Though shaken by the news, Sartarius acted calmly, showcasing his wisdom and experience. He helped the Rune Warrior make sense of Rohen's final words: she was to seek out Hokan Ashir, the most powerful necromancer who had ever lived, as well as find the Phoenix Stone, an artefact powerful enough to stop the Dark One.
As he sent her on her way, he started preparing the Order for the war that would soon follow.
It was decided that to help the Phoenix Bearer in her mission, the Order of Dawn must enable her to break deeper behind enemy lines, which meant breaking through the blockade of the Blades at the Frost Marshes. To that end, he commanded the Order of Dawn to send every soldier, every warrior and mage to the frontlines. Once face to face with the iron horrors, the battle commenced. They fought hard, managing to break through their initial ranks, though that would be far from the of their struggle As they pushed further inland, the stream of the Blades would not falter, inflicting heavy losses, yet they persisted further, only faltering to the perennial horror once nearing the portal to the Southern Godmark. Once the dust had settled, they had lost, and most of their members lay dead in the dirt, with but a few survivors who managed to escape this fate, and Sartarius, who was captive to be used as bait. Nevertheless, their mission had been a success: the blockage was broken, and the fate of Eo was now firmly in the hands of the Phoenix Bearer.
Chained up, Sartarius was brought through the portal to the Southern Godmark where he awaited the outcome of his fate. There he remained until the Phoenix Bearer broke through the enemy's onslaught. She hurried to aid him, however, and although Sartarius tried to warn her in his frail state, she wasn't able to notice that his chains had been secured by a spell. Upon striking them, they were both encased in ice as the Dark One appeared before them. Reminiscent of his confrontation with Rohen Tahir, the Dark One murdered Sartarius, sealing his fate once and for all.
Post Mortem
Though he was gone from this world, the Order of Dawn would not perish with him. It would eventually be revived by the Phoenix Bearer, together with the eventual empress of Empyria, Alyah Arias.
