Ecamane Truesilver

Ecamane Truesilver was a founding member of the city of Silverymoon and its first elected High Mage. He was a major force in bringing enlightenment, in the form of knowledge, magic and the arts, to the North of Faerûn.

History
Truesilver was elected as the High Mage of the fledgling settlement of Silverymoon in 637 DR, the same year its first set of walls were completed. Although the Silvaeren were mostly illiterate, rough-living trappers and lumberjacks, Truesilver began a tradition of fostering learning and sharing culture among the people. He and his nine apprentices founded a library, to accompany the settlement's school.

Seeing such a diverse population living in harmony, flourishing even in artistic expression and enlightenment was a beacon for like-minded people across Faerûn. The atmosphere that Truesilver and his colleagues had fostered drew in mages and loremasters from around the continent came to the city for peaceful study and magical research. They had sought to make the Silverymoon "the Myth Drannor of the North". The city was flourishing and had nearly doubled in size since its founding.

Ecamane Truesilver died in 712 DR. His nephew, Aglanthol the Red, succeeded him as the High Mage of Silverymoon.
