 Horazon perverted the clan to his own will through the knowledge in their libraries, and his ability to summon and bend demons to his will. He would later get the epithet The Summoner. Bartuc was eventually lured to the side of [[Darkness]]. He was granted exceptional strength and longevity, and fought alongside the legions of Hell against the Vizjerei, and eventually his own brother during the [[Sin War]]. Bartuc paid the price of his new powers with an insatiable lust for blood to the point where he was later called the Warlord of Blood. While the clan was not bent towards [[Hell]]'s forces, Horazon had corrupted it.

 Horazon tried to turn his brother from Hell, but failed. A great conflict between mages arose, quickly escalating to what we today call the [[Mage Clan Wars]]. Horazon and the majority of mages did all they could to stop Bartuc's rampage. Horazon also created a place for himself that was separated from the [[physical realm]] where he could escape the carnage called the [[Arcane Sanctuary]].

 The [[Order of Mage Slayers]] (also known as [[Assassin]]s) was formed after the Vizjerei survived the tragedy brought on by [[Bartuc]] and [[Horazon]]. Their purpose was to watch for rogue magi that may become corrupted by the forces of [[Evil]]. To be effective at this task they were trained in abilities that were not conducive to [[Demon]]ic corruption. Living as rumour and myth to the general population, even other magi knew very little about this mysterious order. Their reputation was shrouded in mystery and the simple fear of their retribution almost ensured steadfast vigilance against corruption amongst those who knew they were real.<br><br>

A few Vizjerei sorcerers turned members of one of the Umbaru tribes into grotesque [[goatmen]], called the [[~~Kahzra~~]] by the otherwise relatively peaceful tribes. They were turned this way to improve their physical prowess in the wars, but it all turned sour as the remaining members of the clans made their own deal with Hell.	+	Among the victims of the war was the [[Umbaru]], who up until this point had lived peaceful lives in the [[Torajan jungle]]s.
