Avatara

...powerful sorcerers who lead the the Legion against Balor and the Fallen Lords. Because of their years of training as magic-users and strategists, they tend to avoid melee combat but can be vicious when they have to be. -Avatara Description, Cast of Characters, Myth TFL Manual

Description
The Avatara started as group of archmages when Mazzarin founded the Avatara of Illuan during the the Age of Reason. Drawing their power from Wyrd, many top ranking mages joined this order such as dreamers, diablolists, sorcerers, and summoners. Only those who work hard enough to reach the high level of archmage are given the title "Avatara". The order would quickly rival with the Callieach in terms of power, knowledge and forewarning.

The Avatara always had strong ties to the Cath Bruig Empire as they paid homage to Emperor Emperor Clovis, who presumably bore the the Ibis Crown and Balmung.

Most Avatara carries a scimitar, and have their own unique magic ability. However, they all have a spell known as Dispersal Dream, which causes enemy units to explode in a chain reaction with a charge of an Energon Cube.

Myth: TFL
" ... the seventh wave of Thrall stumbled and climbed over the slippery, piled dead and Mazzarin saw The Watcher with them and at last knew the number of his days." 

"Of all the avatara in the Four Ages there is no doubt that Mazzarin was the most powerful and his death the most salient victory of the Dark during the Wind Age." -Unused Flavor Text

Myth III
"...the Archmage Mazzarin called forth the most powerful mages of the known lands to his domed palace of Illuan. For the first time, practitioners of magic spoke openly of their rituals and ceremonies. After a long night of feasting and conversation, Mazzarin proposed a union between the gathered spellcasters. Joined, their knowledge and powers would increase ten-fold..."

"...the path of becoming an Avatara is a long and rigorous one. Not only is one's time focused on learning how to manipulate the very fabric of existence, but grueling mental and physical conditioning push one's body and psyche to the limits. To become a true Avatara, one must learn the Dream of Dispersal; a very difficult and potentially lethal dream-spell..."
