Most Magnificent Society of Magi and Arcanists

The Most Magnificent Society of Magi and Arcanists is one of the more prestigious mages guilds of Trynser City. It is located in the city's Uphill Ward.
== Background ==
The guild was formed in 1606 by the Lord Magus Neuman Milbourne. A member of the Milbourne family has been guildmaster ever since. Neuman was known for innovation, but his conservative son who succeeded him was not. By the early 1700s, the guild had become mired in tradition.
In 1735. Neil Milbourne, who had served as both Lord Magus and head of the guild, was killed in the War of Gormann's Horde. It was decided to split the positions. The conservative eldest son Peter Milbourne assumed he would succeed his father as lord magus, but instead the position was given to Lord Neil's third son, the unconventional Paul of Milbourne who had been instrumental in the war and was liked by Felix Lodycarth who had been elevated to Lord High Magus of the Empire of Trynser. (Neil's second son Osbourne Milbourne was not a mage but an armourer.) The disappointed Peter was named guildmaster. It was still a very prominent position, but not the one he had long assumed was his.
Many of the older and more conservative guildmembers were pleased at Peter being chosen to head the guild, but did not express great enthusiasm at the elevation of the unconventional Paul to magus.
The Most Magnificent Society of Magi and Arcanists has something of a rivalry with the newer and less conventional Mages Guild of Lower Uphill formed largely by former members of the society.
