The Grand Frostmage

Early Life
The Grand Frost Mage had a a somewhat tragic, and rocky early life. His Mother died at Birth, and his Father became an Avid Alchoholic.

At a young age, he dabbled in the Magic arts, crafting small spells and casting them to amuse the other children in Jehanna. Eventually, he became Apprenticed by a Court Wizard for the Duchy. During his time as an Apprentice, his father was killed by a group of Orcs who were rioting in favor of Torug gro-Ingron.

The Grand Frost Mage then spent the rest of his childhood under the care of the Royal Duchy of the Reach.

Apprenticeship
Jax Frostcrag was trained by various Court Mages in all schools of Magic, however, He took a liking to Destruction Magic, and some Conjuration.

His first major step in becoming an all-powerful Mage was when his Breton Journeyman attempted to murder him in his sleep, due to talks of being replaced by the Young mage as Court Wizard. Jax used his knowledge of Destruction magic to send an Ice Spike spell through the Court-Mage's chest before he could assassinate him with a Dagger.

After this Event, he began to steer more towards Ice Magic, and became proficient in Conjuring creatures with an Ice-Base, and mastering Destructive Frost Magic like Frost Damage and Ice Spike. Sometime after completeing his training, Jax spoke to The Voernet, who directed him to the Ritemaster of the Psijic Order,Iachesis in the Summerset Isle of Artaeum. It is written seldomly by The Voernet, but Iachesis taught the Ways of Psijic Magics to Jax, who in turn used them later to further his own selfish Goals.

Upon return to the Westerm Reach after his journey to the Isles, he was the head of a Controversy now brewing at Jehanna. His power had caused him to become more revered then the Duke of the Westerm Reach, and he was forced to step down on behalf of Preserving the Peace amongst the Leadership.

Ascension
Now outcasted, Jax began to fester in his hatred for the Gods, and what they had done to him. It was not long after that he vowed to restart Nirn, and rule it ultimately as its God.

He trekked westwerd to Daggerfall, where he worked as an Alchemist for some time. This allowed him to experiment with concoctions of various Metals and Ingrediants, eventually giving him the Idea of the Glacier when he accidentaly froze one of his potions, and was unable to remove it from the Floor with any tools.

The Townsfolk began to stray from the Alchemist Jax, and regard him as a Necromancer after rumors began to spread. He was thrown into the Wilds, and exiled from Daggerfall by a Mob of Angry Bretons who had blamed the Mages for Natural troubles.

He Wandered the forest for 4 Whole Years, living Scarcely in the Wild and coming close to death.

Upon what he sincerely believed was his Deathbed, after collapsing onto a pile of Twigs without any nourishment, he was approached by an Aedra, with a Proposition.

That he would be given Eternal Life, and unending Magical powers, if he were to use that power to stop the Rioting against Mages in the High Rock Region.

Jax agree'd to these terms, and was given Magical Powers to explore on his own. Over the course of Several Days, he drew up the plans for the Spire he wished to Build, the Weapon he wished to adorn it with, and the Spell to activate it.

Bound to his promise, Jace sent out about solving the Anti-Mage Problem. He did so by slaying several Anti-Magika figures in Daggerfall, Including the Duke of the Westerm Reach.

Frostmarch
After completeing his task, he fled south to the still Ayleid-controlled Cyrodiil, and began to construct his Spire ontop of Gnoll Mountain.

Sometime between the Fall of the Ayleids and the Beginning of the Reman Empire, the Spire and Weapon were completed.

During the Reign of Reman II, the Grand Frost Mage enacted his Master Plan, which later became known as the Frostmarch. Unfortunately for him, after a series of events, Reyenirus Battlehorn managed to defeat the Grand Frost Mage and stop the Frostmarch Glacier from overtaking all of Nirn.

Reyenirus Battlehorn used Frostbane to banish the Grand Frost Mage to the Mystical Continent of Lyg for at least 270,000 Years.

Legacy
After the Exile of the Grand Frost Mage, Imperial Mages and Troops regarded the Spire as Taboo, and refused to go near it. It wasnt until 30 Years later, when a Venturing Hedge Mage found the Spire and followed the instructions that were enscribed onto the Icey Doors keeping anyone from entering it.

The Hedge Maze is presumably an Ancestor of Taris Rendil, who wrote a book named Frostcrag Spire Memoirs. It is assumed that the Spire's name-- "Frostcrag Spire" -- Is a reference to what happened in the past, and that Taris Rendil was a Frostmarch Sympathizer, due to attempting to hide the actual origins of the Spire itself.
