Dark Savant



The Dark Savant is the main villain in the final trilogy of the Wizardry series.

Crusaders of the Dark Savant
The Dark Savant is initially described as a galactic conqueror who seeks to become a Cosmic Lord and rule the universe. Much like the heroes party, he has arrived at the planet of Lost Guardia, whose location was revealed after the theft of the Cosmic Forge at the ending of Wizardry VI, and seeks to find the Astral Dominae, an artifact created by a Cosmic Lord known as Phoonzang which is said to hold the secrets of the universe and life itself. It is said Phoonzang created Lost Guardia to safeguard the Astral Dominae, after which he mysteriously vanished.

The heroes party travels through the planet in search of the Astral Dominae, dealing with the various factions which are also after it and receiving the help of Vi Dominae, a mysterious woman who holds the key to reaching the artifact. After the party finds the Astral Dominae, they go back to Vi's ship only to find the Dark Savant there, who is holding Vi hostage and demands the Astral Dominae in exchange for her life. As the party hands over the artifact, the Dark Savant takes it and runs away on his spaceship. The heroes then join forces with Vi and give chase to the Dark Savant.
