After defeating the wizards at Yen, Tell sat down to make sure nothing like that ever happened again. The leader of the wizards came and offered him his skill and his power. The solution, he proposed, lay in the land itself. By binding the law to the magic of Elleys, Tell could create a code that could not be broken, thus ensuring peace and justice long after his death.

Many condemned Tell for accepting the help of wizards, for they all knew that they were allowed to remain in power as a reward for writing the land-law. No ruler in Elleys could study magic, but wizards were allowed to be councilors, known as Mages, within the law of the land.

The magical nature of the land-law caused the future kings of Yen to rely upon their Mages to interpret and alter it. The codes where written in seven large volumes, kept in the council hall where the Lords of Elleys assembled every year. As years passed the kings relied more and more on tradition and less and less on the written codes. As they ignored the code they ceased to rely on their Mages to alter it. And the knowledge of its existence passed quietly into oblivion.

By the time of the fourth age the magic was already crumbling though few realized it. Every system had flaws, and the rigid justice of this one had begun to take innocent lives. Even if the Lords of Elleys had realized it they were powerless to change it, or repair the faltering magic. The Mages were good for little more than tricks anymore, for their understanding no longer encompassed the great binding that had taken place in Tell's day.

Yet the fate of Elleys lay in the law, for Tell had done his work too well. When Tannis marched across the mountains with a mortal army it shattered, and was never recovered.

So...um, do you mean "After defeating the wizards at Yen, Tell sat down to make sure nothing like that ever happened again."? Thought you might want to fix that if it's in your book!

You did the same thing again later in that paragraph. After "Elleys" you need a comma. :)

It's really cool! I want to find out more!

No, it's not in the book; I make these things up on the spur of the moment and I never spell check. *bad Katie*

Thanks for the catch! *edits*
