I started the run with a temporal warden. After finishing starting location I've teleported to global map. An apprentice mage wasn't here, but I thought that he is somewhere nearby. I didn't try to search him at the first onset, planning to find him when I'll have an item to complete the quest. It was an error, exactly. Now my warden is 14 level, I've called to mind about mage because 'Storming city' quest, but he is absent absolutely. This run is ruined, I think.

As I found on the forum it's old-existing bug. Is there need in savegame or anything else?
