Mage Guild

Guild in charge of mages, the only legitimate magic-wielders in the world (not counting the clergy).

Guildhouses in all major cities.

Masterhouse: Brakule; tied to the University of Brakule

Grandmaster: Garegen Brakose

Mages are those who have graduated from the University, and are able to perform magic.

Wear purple denoting their guild; no other mundane identification, although they do use magemarks to identify their rank amongst other mages.

Speak their own language, arcana

Ranked in circles

To become a mage, one must be recruited into the University. Those who graduate of sufficient circle (11th or lower) are contracted to the world; majority of payment goes to the University to pay for the education. Once education is paid, mage is free to pursue career independently.

Other mages not contracted out are used by the Guild to create magical items, such as the various magestones, magical food, etc.
