'''Bladesinger Archmages''' are powerful elven spellcasters dedicated to the mastery of the Bladesinging arcane tradition.

An archmage typically has one or more apprentice mages (usually bladesingers themselves), and an archmage’s abode has numerous magical wards and guardians to discourage interlopers.
