Zillquitch Magnon The High Wizard of Frazathon, resident of Castle Krintaug, was an easily impressed man. Grow your beard out, he's impressed. Wash your pits, he's impressed. Let go of all earthly emotional attachments to seek higher planes of consciousness, he's impressed. Once an initiate wizardling washed his socks twice daily. Zillquitch was so impressed he promoted the initiate wizardling to the position and title of Lesser-Almost-But-Not-Quite-As-High-Of-A-Wizard Third Class.

It got to be that everyone in the order had almost no knowledge of the arcane but was damn good at art and crafts and interior design. So when the orcs and ghouls of Paizeron came invading, nearly the entire order was killed. However, the orcs and ghouls both agreed that the Castle Krintaug's ground's were exceedingly clean and impressively decorated.

The highest of wizarding councils got wind of the incident and sent orders for Zillquitch's resignation. To which he replied that had the letter not come written in such an impressively beautiful hand and on such impressively gorgeous staionary, he might not have obliged the request at all. Zillquitch Magnon The High Wizard of Frazathon stepped down and upon moving to the mountains, dedicated the rest of his days to attempting to brew the most perfect cup of tea.

Zillquitch's impressive successor Grand Wizard Bartok Feien, was such a hard man to impress that only the wizards who were the most talented and most knowledgeable in the arcane arts were given any advancements at all. The quality of wizards around were unmatched.

The news of such high quality wizards led to a flurry of letters to Castle Krintoug from High Wizard Zillquitch stating that he had heard of the amazing job his successor had been doing and that since he himself was so very impressed that as a gift, he would like to send his best strain of tea leaves to be grown there at the castle. To which Bartok replied, "Yeah, sure that sounds fine".

The tea in that area became well known throughout the world and flowed for decades. This brought about a reign of peace nobody had experienced in quite some time. Even the orcs and ghouls of Paizeron thought better of invading due to the tea being "so fine".
