Good sages usually counsel nobles, while evil sages entertain ideas of ruling as tyrants or pursuing lichdom. Those that are neither good nor evil tend to study magic in seclusion within lonely towers. A sage's abode is usually warded with powerful magic, and a sage will usually have an apprentice or two.
