Council of Magic

**Council of Magic** is a universal organisation dedicated to controlling and monitoring the use of magic to ensure, that the arcane arts can be both used freely and safely. They have power and influence on many worlds (excluding those owned by the Imperium, Dominion and other such empires and worlds such as Madrapor, from which the Council had been driven from).

They defend their sanctioned worlds with their own resources, and only seek to keep people safe.

## History:

The Council had it’s start on Nifminic, after the demon Drogtraz was unleashed upon that world. At this time, wizard Nathan Terraglyth was approached by angel Relgena to deal with him, and with the aid of Danson Mekili, went off to fight against him. He allied with priestess Indera Milili, and a dragon rider Nirk Sal. They recruited a lot of mages from far across the world; Mozla Zerci, a native Grola of Nifminic who used the art of necromancy to fight off invaders, Iona Drana the pyromancer leader of the Eimit Freedom Fighters. Tori Spangia, herbalist and master of life magic, Iago Nerasal, illusive and former member of the cult of Drogtraz, Rengaza DIdisi, Ungal druid who was wise in the ways of the world, Apinya Nemasir a mysterious wizard who offered his aid, Olin Nermaz, ghost of a dead Aldean who was slain fighting against demons years prior, Jessalin Golgar the plague mage and defeated leader of The Wastenot, Beitris Nisani powerful shapeshifter who was lost on this world, and Mythin, the last Elder Dragon of Nifminic.

Together they marched on the Aldean ruins of Hastin, where they met with Belai Kiem and her order, who came to hunt down Nathan and rest of members of the group she considered dark mages. She was convinced to instead aid the founders in their fight. Together they lured Drogtraz into the ruins, and trapped him in a binding spell, creating the Council Pact, which binds him so long as the Council exists.
