Favoured Wizard of the Emperor himself, granted knowledge of Celestial sorcery perfected across millennia.

Recruitment[ | ]

Description[ | ]

Of all the magical disciplines, the most well-established is that of the Astromancers. These are the favoured Wizards of the Celestial Emperor, and who practice Heavens Magic. Unlike the Magisters of the Celestial Order in the Empire of the Old World, Astromancers have been perfecting their art for over five thousand years. The Celestial Dragon himself is said to have taught man the true secrets of Azyr, and their spells are far more complex and powerful as a result.

Cathay's second fragile wizard hero. The lore of heavens is not quite as useful as the lore of metal, but the Astromancer has an ace up his sleeve in the form of his final mount, a Wu Xing War Compass. This provides you its excellent elemental winds and harmony bonuses without needing to waste an army slot on it, whilst also giving the Astromancer a decent charge attack if an enemy gets too close. Astromancers thus reward the patience needed to invest in them.
