Thornmasters of Nungul
Thornmasters were an order of battle mages that served the kingdom of Nungul prior to the Mundane War. A variety of different mages comprised its ranks.
The Thornmasters were a professional unit of combat mages with its ultimate loyalties ties to the royal family. They were officially destroyed by Lord Bern following Sandar's conquest of Nungul. They would be unofficially reformed as Gunkol rose, but lacked the organization and power wielded by the original order.
Following the Demon Wars, the title of "Thornmaster" rang hollow, used by Dun hedge mages seeking to lend credibility to their services. Any highly educated individual could recognize the title as meaningless.
