Maugris

Games Discussion Ars Magica

Just browsing through Faith and Flame, and found reference to Maugris of Diedne. Can't blame the authors for co-opting this character from The Matter of France. Though the tales said he aided his cousins in rebellion against Charlemagne, nothing about Maugris being Court Wizard.

Does sort of contradicr my Saga where I had him as an almost Founder, who broke with Bonisagus due to the recruitment of Diedne, and the other Founders approval of Charlemagne.

Perhaps I can say that there were two wizards of very similar names that got conflated in the tales and histories.

Now I am worried that I will find Atlantes in canon material.

I use this POV to resolve contradictions: you aren't playing what happened, but the legends that survived.

Maybe this Maugris of Diedne is how some Trianomae rewrote the past.

Atlantes from the Matter of France, who had a castle full of illusions in the Atlas mtns.

I believe @Ben_McFarland is the Maugris-expert on the Faith & Flame team. If I can invoke his name properly, maybe he can shed some more light on this.

Atlantes is in the North Africa book. Alicia of Cathay is in the books too.
