Whats up with Banderling Archmages?

Question Title: Whats up with Banderling Archmages?
Category: Backstory
Question: From everything we know of the banderling race, they arent exactly all that bright, nor do they have a strong organizational background.

However, the high level, direlands version of banderlings cast creature debuffs, life debuffs, and war magic, and all at a relatively high level of casting power. This varies wildly from the banderling scouts, guards and captains we see roaming Osteth. Whereas we have an explanation for dires drudges, and super tuskers, we dont really know anything about the Banderlings. Are they experiments of the Virindi? Or something else?

Thanks!

Answer: By the standards of the Dericost and Yalalin, humans aren't all that bright, nor are they particularly organized.

Some "primitive" cultures turn out to be surprisingly skilled at things we wouldn't expect...
