Magi (Final Fantasy VI)

The Mage Warriors were a group who took part in the War of the Magi, 1000 years prior to the events of Final Fantasy VI. They were the humans who learned how to wield magic. After the war ended, they found themselves persecuted and killed by "normal" humans, and so fled to Crescent Island, where they founded the town of Thamasa, whose descendents guarded its secrets carefully.
