Mages' College

The Mages' College is a Llysian faction devoted to the study and advancement of magic and science. The main buildings of the College are located in the mountains of north-central Llysos, between Aratos and Halcyon. Among the oldest and most well known of these buildings are the Llysian Archives and the Hall of Antiquities.
==History==
It developed out of several much older Sophic cults, and is often related to the sacred symbol called  the apokrophopthalos. While the organization still officially holds religious responsibilities and significance, it is not often thought of as such by foreigners. Non-magi followers of the Mages' College are those who place high value on knowledge, secrets, and discovery, such as booksellers and librarians, tutors, information-brokers, alchemists, and academics (many of whom studied under college guidance).
==Operations==
The Mages' College proper serves as Llysos' main institution of higher learning. While all manner of education is available there, it is most well known for its research and schooling in magic, and it accepts students from the far reaches of Voldrania. It is particularly noted for making great strides in the fields of techmaturgy, exotic energies, and telemechanics. A student who receive full magical training from the college is granted the title of 'magus', and forfeits their past and familial ties. The College also works closely with the Azure Dawn, and provides training to members of the Mendicants Valiant.
In addition to the main 'campus', the College is responsible for many of Llysos' arcane interests both at home and throughout Voldrania. It is not unusual to see Llysian mages working abroad in places such as Kal'Kan, Skylyn, or Varrenholm. Llysian mages are also often sent abroad to investigate magical phenomena and other places of interest; in recent years members of the Mages' College have taken part in numerous expeditions to the Midlands to study Trikash ruins, and participated in both the Nether War and in repelling the Monitor Invasion.
