...Wait, so running D&D and setting the players against Belon Husk isn't what you're meant to do? Or do you think it's fine, so long as he's a sorcerer or something?
Iirc mage BBEGs were of a technocracy trying to impose order on reality which was not good for those with the ability to manipulate it.
The technos were also in cahoots with the wyrm I think, from werewolf.
The Technocratic Union are the primary antagonists to the 9 Traditions. No so much purely evil for the sake of evil but a well funded highly authoritarian secret society ideologically opposed to the Traditions. The Technocracy brought us modern plumbing, vaccination and modern medicine, toilet paper, and nuclear weapons, advanced bioweapons, capitalism, and the prison industrial complex.
The Nephandi are the evil for evil sake mages. They are seeking to spread as much pain and misery and bring in the descent of humanity into destruction.
And then there's the marauders, mages who's magickal hubris gets the better of them and they succumb to a reality warping madness.
