	For a long time the Wolves of War were the only [[Imperial army]] to bear a [[Ilium#Using_ilium_in_ritual\|permanent]] enchantment. Created in Autumn 378YE by then [[Archmage of Autumn]], '''Maurice de Gauvain''', it took advantage of a [[As_above,_so_below\|specific conjunction]] that made permanent enchantments easier to create. Legend has it that the archmage was only able to acquire half of the still-considerable amount of ilium needed for the ritual, but managed to broker a deal with the ''[[Prospero\|Sovereign Lord of the City of Bridges]]'' to borrow the outstanding amount. Wisely, the archmage found a way to pay the loan back before he defaulted it, much to the displeasure of the ''Lord of the Loom'', who by all accounts may have had designs on the army itself. Maurice died under tragic circumstances while fighting alongside the heroes of the Empire against unliving horrors invading Dawn. The enchantment remained part of his legacy for nearly a decade.

It was removed from [[General]] Jean d'Apulian and apparently stored in some kind of "magical container". Its final destination is unclear, but it means that not only can the Wolves now receive other enchantments, but also that the general no longer experiences the subtle influence of the Autumn magic that was, anecdotally at least, endangering the sanity of some of those who led the army.

	For a long time the Wolves of War were the only [[Imperial army]] to bear a [[Ilium#Using_ilium_in_ritual\|permanent]] enchantment. Created in Autumn 378YE by then [[Archmage of Autumn]], '''Maurice de Gauvain''', it took advantage of a [[As_above,_so_below\|specific conjunction]] that made permanent enchantments easier to create. Legend has it that the archmage was only able to acquire half of the still-considerable amount of ilium needed for the ritual, but managed to broker a deal with the ''[[Prospero\|Sovereign Lord of the City of Bridges]]'' to borrow the outstanding amount. Wisely, the archmage found a way to pay the loan back before he defaulted it, much to the displeasure of the ''Lord of the Loom'', who by all accounts may have had designs on the army itself. Maurice died under tragic circumstances while fighting alongside the heroes of the Empire against unliving horrors invading Dawn. The enchantment remained part of his legacy for nearly a decade.

	The ritual more than paid for itself. It helped make the Wolves of War an obvious choice for [[Military_unit#Campaigning\|support]] by the Empire's [[military unit\|~~independant~~ captains]], who were regularly front-and-centre in some of the most bitter conflicts during the time it was enchanted. It was not without drawbacks - there were certainly times when other enchantments such as [[Brotherhood of Tian]] would have proved more strategically useful, but the permanent enchantment prevented that. The enduring magic also reportedly weighed heavily on the minds of several generals - the subtle influence of [[Autumn magic]] seeping gently into their thoughts in ways that could prove difficult to ignore.

	During the Winter Solstice 386YE, however, the enchantment was apparently sold to a representative of the [[Realm#Autumn realm\|Autumn realm]].
