The Hundred

The Hundred is the name collectively given to the first One Hundred Human Magi ever trained. In exchange for military aid against the Amani Empire during the conflict known as the Troll Wars, The Elven Nation of Quel'thalas agreed to instruct the bare minimum of One Hundred Humans in the ways of Magic.

The first One Hundred were trained during and after the Troll Wars. Upon first instruction, the newly formed Human mages were clumsy spellcasters, but to the great suprise of their Elven mentors posessed an innate skill for magic that nearly rivaled their own. Upon the conclusion of the Troll Wars, the Human Magi, scant though they were, often conflicted with the still tribal pseudo-shamanistic ways and Harvest Witches still inherent to Human Culture. In order to preserve Public peace as well as preserve these valuable assets of Human Wizards, King Thoradin Trollbane ordered the construction of the Tower of Arathor, in which the Human Mages could dwell and practice their arcane arts. This arrangement did indeed work for a time, and the Human Mages refined their skills and techniques and quite possibly began the instruction of nascent Human Mages who came for instruction. The fearful and oppressive nature of the Arathorian humans however would soon prove too much of a stigma to bear, and a significant portion of the already few Human Magi departed the City of Strom to establish their own City from which they could practice their magic unoppressed. This exodus led to the founding of Dalaran, and left the Tower of Arathor as a shell of its former glory.
