Moren Tir is a University of the magical arts located on the island of Alarion off the coast of Thel'Darion. Moren Tir mainly focuses on the study of the 8 schools of magic but also teaches subjects such as alchemy,

runecarving and mechanics. Moren Tir is the most prestigious school of magic on Moro and is the only place a wizard can obtain their official title of Ne'Lor. The University was founded by Arleon the Eyeless in the year 540 5th Epoch.

The University’s core philosophy revolves around the true and unrestrained study of magic, whereby no field is shunned or disallowed. The University serves as a place where such wizards can study the likes of Necromancy, Demonology and Hemomancy in a safe environment without fear of persecution.

## Student Ranks

The students of Moren Tir are categorized into groups that reflect the level of study they have achieved. Certain ranks are given more benefits than that of the lower ranks and also serves to display a students level of experience.

The first rank Thel, is the introductory rank in the university. Thel's cannot conduct independent research and cannot take books from the grand Aethaeum. Thel's work is mostly introductory theories and harmless spells.

The second rank in the university is the rank of Taan. Taan's are students who have shown competency in their basic fields of study. Taan's are granted some luxuries that thels do not enjoy, such as library access, better accommodation and study areas. Once you reach Taan you begin studying more useful spells and potions.

Ne'lar is the third rank of the university and are achieved by students with patience and dedication in their field of study. To ascend to Ne'lar you must be first sponsored by a Re'lar and pass the trial of the Ne'lar, which involves demonstrating your powers and knowledge before the Master Re'lar.

Re'lor is the highest standard rank achievable in the college.  Re'lar's oversee many of the ceremonies and administration in the college. Re'lars and Master Re'lars are extremely knowledgeable in their preferred field of study and are oftentimes some of the most powerful magic users in the world. There are 8 Master Re'lar positions , one for each school of magic. The Arch Re'lar is an elevated member of the Master Re'lars, who acts as the head of the entire college. The current Arch Re'lar is Dirnarnos, master of Divination.

## Uniform

The students of Moren Tir are expected to follow the strict uniform policy. The uniform involves the black and white robes with a colored mantle to indicate a students specialty. A student receives their specialized mantle once they reach the rank of Taan. Amongst the students of Moren Tir certain pejoratives have entered the collegiate vernacular referring to the stereotypes associated with the schools of magic. For example, being called a 'black-collar' refers to students who are members of the Necromancy school and is slang for someone who is generally shady or secretive. While calling someone a 'red-collar' usually refers to someone with unchecked arrogance or a sense of superiority.

Upon reaching the rank of Re'Lor in addition to your colored mantle you may choose to wear a colored cape representing your magical seniority. Some scholars when reaching the rank of Re'Lor will have branched into multiple fields of magic and at this stage will sometimes chose to decorate their capes with certain symbols or colors to represent their studies. The uniform rule is relaxed when reaching the rank of Re'Lor allowing them to wear whatever they see fit, however most Re'Lors choose to continue wearing the uniform into their Re'Lorship.

## List of Arch Re'Lors

### Arleon the Eyeless
