I didnt like the idea of 2nd spaning SMPs leading small armies when there were so few of them left and at the same time the younger SMPs were not as good at magic as their background suggests. This is an idea to balance the background with the tabletop games.
The Slann Mage-Priests are divided in different spawnings, where a Slann of an older spawning is thousands of years older than a Slann of a younger spawning. The Slann of the first spawning are all dead as not even Slann live that long. The Slann of the second spawning reside in the flourishing Temple cities and direct the other Slann in carrying out the will of the Old Ones. To their aid they have about five Slann each of the third spawning that assist them in various tasks. There are more third spawning Slann that are still alive and they each rule a ruined city. The city of zlatlan should have something like 2-3 Slann of the third spawning.
The Mage-Priests of the fourth spawning are the supreme generals and they have temples clustered around the temples of the Mage-Priests of the second and third spawnings. The flourishing cities would have around half a dozen supreme generals each and the ruined cities might only have 2-3. The city of Zlatlan would have a dozen Slann of the fourth spawning , but they might not all be generals. These generals have their own personal armies and may command a sizable force drawn from the cities army. The Slann of the fifth spawning are responsible for carrying out orders from the older Slann. They command smaller personal armies and are the usually chosen to lead an army to a minor battle.
| Spawning | Status |
| First | Dead |

Magic:
All Slann Mage-Priests have a magic level of 4 as even the youngest Mage-Priests remember
a time when the Elves were young and thus their magic level is higher due to their age.
However as their studies and specialities of magic is in spells for divination or climatic
change their effective combat magic level is only 4. The Mage-Priests may have spells from
the High Magic list or the Battle magic list.
Magic Items:
A Mage-Priest may have up to 4 magic items regardless of level.
Special Rules:
All Slann Mage-Priest special rules apply.
