Guild of Sorceries

**Guild of Sorceries** is a Council-aligned magic school that teaches young sorcerers.

## History:

The school was founded by a former Kiem Knight Satemi Ubaid, one of the original members of Belai Kiem's order, who had left the order after he failed to save the rogue sorcerer child Mishni Utavi. She had lost control of her magic and disintegrated many locals of her hometown on Madrapor. When Satemi found her, he tried to help her but failed and was left with a horrid scar.

The girl, terrified at what she would become, took her own life, which filled Satemi with sorrow and prompted him to swear an oath to not let this happen again. So he quit the Kiem Order and founded a school to help people like Mishni to control their powers. He travelled to the Mage City of Albranga and bought rights to use the old Kythoilimian ruins in the center of city. Here he built his school and he was officially recognized by the Council a year later.

The Guild of Sorceries would prosper for many years with a lot of famous students graduating from it, such as Loreta Nuño and Ordath Middlim.

It would not be all peaceful however, as during the Second Chaos War, it would be attacked along with the rest of Albranga, and it’s Headmaster Robert Trebor was killed defending the city. In their desperation, the remaining masters lifted the school away from the city and demon armies below into the sky where it remains to this day. When the war ended, the school built portals back down to the city and brought in ancient Aldean devices to keep the school afloat.

Other then the attacks commited by Roger Baumer and the Omega Killer, things have been going rather well for the Guild.

## Structure:

**Initiate**: New students who learn the basics of magic and acquit themselves to the school. They must pass their Initiate Trial to attract a Master and go on to become an Apprentice.

**Apprentice**: They are trained by their Master in the ways of magic. They must spend some time under their masters wing and pass their Apprentice Trials to become a journeyman.

**Journeyman**: Members of the Guild in everyday Council life. This is the stage where most of the guild members are at, as once one graduates and becomes a Journeyman, they stay on said level unless they do one of three things: get arrested by the Council for breaking a magical law, join the Order of Kiem or take and pass the Trial of Mastership and become a Master Magi.

**Master Magi**: The Masters of the Guild who train new apprentices and keep the guild in order.

## Locations:

**Initiate’s Dorms**: A large dormitory where young students go to live and train while they wait to take their apprenticeship test.

**Apprentice Dorms (Male and Female)**: Two large dormitories that hold the apprentices of the Guild.

**Master Magi Quarters**: Homes of the Master Magi while they stay at the Guild.

**Headmaster’s Office**: Place where the Headmaster of the Guild lives and works.

**Courtyard**: A large space in the middle of the Guild where students tend to hang out.

**Master’s Moot**: A large enclave where Master Magi meet to discuss guild affairs.

**Observation Tower**: A place where studies are done.
