The Magisters succeeded in physically entering the Fade in -395 Ancient the spell reportedly required two-thirds of the lyrium in the Tevinter Imperium and the lifeblood of several hundred slaves, presumably elven ones as Corypheus believed that the elves of old were tied to the Fade.

Sethius took on the name of Corypheus, the Conductor of the Choir of Silence, as he led the Magisters Sidereal, co-ordinating their efforts to achieve a magical feat never accomplished before in human history. However, as only one of them would be raised to godhood, they schemed against each other for power, hid their identities and assumed aliases to protect themselves. Unable to accomplish this extraordinary feat on his own, he called on the other six high priests of the Old Gods for help. Īs a result, when Dumat started whispering to Sethius in his dreams, promising to raise him to godhood if he entered the Fade to claim the Golden City, Sethius heeded the call. With the other Magisters Sidereal, he discussed ways to return the people of Tevinter to the ways of the Old Gods. According to one of his slaves, whose words were somehow preserved in the Fade, Sethius was never a cruel man, but the weakening of the temples and the loss of his followers had brought fear into his heart. House Amladaris was considered mediocre, Sethius middling, but he believed himself deserving of more. He was the High Priest of Dumat and was also one of the Magisters Sidereal, the group of seven high priests of the Old Gods within the Magisterium. Corypheus was once a human Magister by the name of Sethius Amladaris.
