J’zargo personally assisted the new Thalmor representative, to surrender all magical knowledge for assessment even though the agent balked at the idea.Ī decade later and apart from one other distraction, that placed Archmage J’zargo on his current path his reserved study of knowledge and his devotion to the improvement of magical relations within Skyrim have all been to try and stop one truth from bursting into the light. The Thalmor through Elenwen’s letter accepted that Ancano’s instability meant that he should not have been assigned such a trust worthy post at the college, of course though they flat out refused to accept responsibility for the actions of a rogue agent.
That when the replacement to the lunatic Ancano introduced himself the college demanded he surrenders all magical knowledge he carried with him to the college for assessment. In a speech that now is a cornerstone of the College’s charter J’zargo stated that the new essence of learning in the college was to ‘learn, master, catalogue, make safe and control the flow of magic within Skyrim’. The ‘Eye of Magnus’ that almost finally destroyed Winterhold College, capital and Hold all that inspired the new direction of the Mages within Skyrim. It was after an incident at the college, which led to his taking the position of Archmage that J’zargo established the new ethos of the college. Ever since, he ascended to the post of master of the college and at least in theory master of all mages within Skyrim J’zargo has made it his business to keep a pulse on all the occurrences of a magical nature within his realm. Surrounding him are the collected works of learning of over seven hundred years worth of Archmages their works all absorbed meticulously over a decade’s worth of study.
The master of the college of Winterhold Archmage J’zargo sits cross-legged and meditative in his quarters. “Archmage” The ears of the feline Khajiit prick to the sound of his hard earned title, he ignores it though deep in an eternal reverie he focuses on the spell casting process. A change in Policy brought about by the new Archmage now almost a decade into his role, slowly the capital of the Winterhold is beginning to show small signs of growth. Only in recent years as the college attempted to assist in any rebuilding efforts. The capital of Winterhold bar a small handful of buildings that now remain were essentially destroyed in a great cataclysm many years ago. Its heavy fortified mass of stone masonry hangs off a ruined rocky formation hundreds of meters above the tumultuous and turbulent freezing waters of the sea below. The college of Winterhold sits high above the capital of Winterhold, almost in defiance of the very laws of nature.
