Lieutenant

Lieutenants are servant of the Archmages that represent their boundary between mortality. Simply put, if the Lieutenants die then so too, can the Archmage they serve.

The Binding Ceremony
The Binding Ceremony was, and still is, a ceremony held when a new Lieutenant is bound to an Archmage. It is a momentous occasion in the realm of that Archmage, and most if not all the population gathers to witness it. It involves the use of the Archmage's Seal which, when enchanted with magic and invoked by the magical words said by the Lieutenant, intertwines the very lifeforces of the two beings.

Sub-Divisions
As with the Archmages, Lieutenants can only be specific people but there are a few titles that may be related.

Pseudo-Lieutenants

 * These are people with the power and bonded servitude that could be classed as a Lieutenant but are not recognised as one in-universe. Examples include Temp's Alpha Male Underwolf, Reaver, the Fade Lord, Alastor and the Elemental Lord, Omegos.

Past Lieutenants

 * Lieutenants may not serve for their whole life because they may become injured or disgraced. No Lieutenant has yet quit because of injury but Mept's first Chief Mage, Ultima was thrown down into the Depths of the Underworld by Temp for treachery during the Grand Magic Olympiad.
