Mage de Guerres are often described as “arcane artillery”, spellcasters capable of dealing huge amounts of damage to multiple targets. A Mage de Guerre is rarely subtle in battle and while they are limited in the spells which they can cast, they put even the most heavy handed Magiciens to shame on the battlefield. Mage de Guerres are also proficient with a wider rangel of weapons than most arcane casters and use their unique Mage de Guerre Edge ability to deal even greater damage to their foes.

As their name suggests most Mage de Guerres found in Eberron today were trained and deployed during the Dernière Guerre. Mage de Guerres were popular artillery and cavalry units, able to turn the tide of a major battle with a well placed Fireball or a quick Lightning Bolt.

Mage de Guerres were employed by many countries but it was the former nation of Cyre that was most famous for its larger number and better trained Mage de Guerres. When the Jour du Deuil occurred a great many of these militant arcanists were wiped out along with the most reknowned Mage de Guerre college in all of Khorvaire. Despite this fact there are still Mage de Guerres who remain in Nouvelle Cyre as well as those who now sell their services to the highest bidder.
