Wizards Cabal

A possibility?...

In the year 1000 (the time of DA1), some Magic Users, as they were then called, who learned to cast spells without the need of spellbooks, form a secret society called the Wizard's Cabal to oppose Uther and the suppression of natural-born Magic Users. Sometime between 1000 and 1030 (the time of 3.5 Blackmoor), the learned Magic Users start referring to themselves as Wizards and organize to destroy the underground Wizard's Cabal, eventually taking on that group's name and the mission of policing the use of magic in Blackmoor.

The original Wizard's Cabal, consisting of natural-born spellcasters who now refer to themselves as Sorcerers, go further underground and take on the name Eldritch Underground.

Interesting. The DA modules however were set in 1025, not 1030. 5 years might be a bit short a time for this change, but then the D20 line does not seem to be based on the assumption that the DA module events have actually occured.

My idea is actually that the Cabal started out as a good organization, but that it is slowly being corrupted. Unless the PCs can do something about it, the Cabal will end up becoming as described in DA1.
