Do you mean "the magister" Like mine says manshoon? If that is what you mean... then I shall answer!
That is your rank. As you post more uh... posts ( ) you get higher in rank... you hit magister when you posted 100 times... you will hit manshoon when you post 150 and so on and so on. I don't know all of the ranks or the interval between them all, but there are alot! So, in conclution, the more you post the better rank you get, and the cooler you rank becomes, and the more people look up to you. There! Hope that helped!

Magister is an old medieval term for a Professor. It's been acquired in very recent years and thrown into the hopper as a sort of generic leader type for magical AD&D nonsense, probably because of confusing "magic" with "magisterial." Very long ago, both words came from the same root--Magi or Magians, the Zoroastrian religion that is regarded as the first monotheistic belief system of note. The later Muslims who converted (often, forcibly) the Magians of the MidEast demonized the religion, regarding Magians as infernal spell-users who had made contracts with the devil, Iblis. Hence, Magians become synonymous with spellcasting (magic) and all-encompassing knowledge (magisterial).
Well, you did ask. |

Yeah he is pretty cool. There was a link to a site about him, or a site with a quick description.... but I don't remember where it is on the forum... mayhap someone else does?
