The Faen

The Faen (pronounced /feɪn/)is the dominant organisation for the training of those with arcane or artistic talents (predominantly bards, wizards and sorcerers — though clerics and druids are not rare) within the city of Dexicos. It was historically guarded and monitored by the Vallotis to balance both the light/truth and art/music focus of Apollo until the Faen defeated them during the Heliotym Civil War.
== Structure ==
The Faen is composed of three separate branches or factions, known more commonly as the three pillars. 
=== Art ===
This faction acts as the face of the Faen, being a place of learning and cultivation of art as a form of worship. There is a range of activities studied here, all accompanied by the teaching and cultivating of magic ability, that includes and are not limited to: physical art, music, poetry, entertainment sports, dance and divination.
=== Magic ===
The most powerful casters gather in this faction. They practice magic with the aim to preserve and protect light and particularly focus on healing magic. They also have interests in the generation and protection of prophecy.
=== Experimentation ===
Not much is known about this pillar of the Faen. 
== Demographics ==
The Upper Classes of Dexicos tend to be the largest demographic of people who make up the officials of the Faen as studying there grants a level of prestige and recognition of great artistic and/or magical talents. As such, many families aspire to send their children to the Faen to add to the status of the family name — unlike the Vallotis, who compromise mainly of those without magical talents and are largely regarded by the Faen and the wider Dexicosian society as not being blessed by Apollo.
