Augustian

Augustian was the pen name of a Sixth Age-era novelist who, much like the revered Herbet Patric Galactis, was also an accomplished historian, and wrote novels in what he attempted to make a historically-accurate setting.

Unlike Galactis, Augustian was a writer first and a historian second, who did not always obtain reliable sources for his information and was willing to sacrifice accuracy to produce a better story.

Writing primarly Mage Wars-era literature during the Kamian Succession Wars, Augustian was hugely popular across much of the known worlds. His work was particularly popular among refugees, as the could identify well with the plights of the characters.

Augustian won many awards for his writing and was even decorated by various governments, including the Gudersnipe Foundation.

In N.D., the Foundation began to re-release Augustian's books to the general population as part of a campaign to promote literacy and teach the current generation about the past. Though Augustian's books were never considered partcularly historically accurate, they were always very engaging and able to appeal to a wide demographic.
