The Wizard King

"'In the end, a vote was taken, and the Houses unanimously ushered in the current time of peace. Osrick was named the Wizard King of Cydonia. He wouldn't be a king in the traditional sense, but when the Houses found themselves at odds, the final decision of the Wizard King would be law. He would maintain this neutrality by having no house affiliation.' ""~Tome of Antiquity, Sixth Age: The Era of Reconstitution"

Origin
The Wizard King has never revealed his own story when questioned directly, but scholars have pieced together a possible lineage from ancient texts."'The three gods of magic: Festus, Poneum, and Elios, decided to hold court with other divine beings to do something about the impending cataclysm...'""'...Festus took exceptional interest in the affairs of these mortals. When able, he took an eartly form as and advisor and storyteller named Osrick Kord. He would guide and assit the tribes when they needed it. Osrick showed no favorites. He spit his time between all the clans and assisted them when he was able... As the event grew closer, Festus found himself in the guise of Osrick more and more.' ""'The time of the First Sacrifice was upon the world. Festus, in an act of great kindness and love, chose to forsake his divinity for the cause. He presented His divine spark to the Master of Time. Kuthar-Khan accepted the offering and upon doing so, made the Second Sacrifice. He would surrender his freedom.'  ~Tome of Antiquity, Fifth Age: The Era of the Arcane""'Capitalizing on his recent victory and previous relationships with all the Houses, Osrick Kord put forth a motion to unite the clans. During his tenure as an advisor, then later as a general in the civil war, he had become very close to the queen of the Gryznak.'""~Tome of Antiquity, Sixth Age: The Era of Reconstitution"

Creation of Wizard Party
After the end of the  Wizard Civil War, Osrick proposed to the Queen of Gryznak. The celebration of their wedding was so great, and the feeling of well being among wizards so strong that all the remaining houses elected him to be The Wizard King."'The anniversary of their wedding would become an annual tradition where all the Houses would gather to compete in games, surmount challenges, and air problems and concerns effecting their Houses. The Ruplemore would aptly name this gathering the Wizard Party.' ~Tome of Antiquity, Sixth Age: The Era of Reconstitution"
