The main base of operations for the Wizards Cabal, according to TWC is the fortress of Ardenn and its Tower of Mages in Vestfold. I am little unclear on when this building was established? Does it go back to when the Mage Wars ended, which was also at Vestfold? If so, how would this affect relations between The Cabal and the mundane ruler of Vestfold when it was promoted to the status of Earldom?

In the other thread we talked about the relationship between the Cabal and King Uther, but prior to that the relationship would have been between the Cabal and the Thonian Empire, a relationship that was not always too friendly.

In my Vales campaign (995NC), I made Wizardwatch Keep (aka Sage's Tower) the main training ground of the Cabal, but would it have made more sense to have it always be at Ardenn?
