Academy of the Arcane

There are anywhere 2,500 to 3,500 students in the academy at any one year, and another 500 alumni on top of that. Not all students live at the school nor are all of them are from Telleve originally. Many are sent from all over the Vallenti Empire.

HIERARCHY

Sentinel (The Principle basically)



7 Sages (Protectors and councilors) |

21 High Magus (researchers; each Magus has one protegé they pass their position to when they are no longer able to carry on, most of these tend to be teachers or Inquirerers abroad) |

66 Mages (22 of which are cantrips teachers, and the rest being a mixture of teachers and tutors) |

Alumni (Post-graduates who are still living in the school and studying to perhaps one-day become a teacher or those who’ve gone abroad and are for meetings or to trade research) |

2,442 Students

Inquirers are outside of the hierarchy but play a role in dealing with magical disasters or other jobs magic can be used to solve. Many Inquirers are sent to do research out of the state as well. There are always 42 inquierers, and once one can no longer hold the position they are replaced by someone chosen by the sages and the Sentinel. They answer only to those as well, but often seek the guidance by the High magus for their research.

The underground club scene is a roaring 20’s style party that happens on a monthly basis. The contributors, several Alumni of the school and some older students, hire bards from around the world and other travelling showmen and enhance the performance with magic. These parties are often held in old ruins near Telleve and other grungy warehouses or underground maintenance tunnels, but for the night the area is transformed into a spectacular venue full of lights, dancers, food and most importantly drinks. The higher ups tend to look down on the clube scene as it posses not just a danger to those participating but to the city as a whole. Magic is looked down on in the rest of the world, let alone in an unprotected or an unsupervised manner. But fortunately for the group, there have been less than 20 deaths in the 500 years the party’s been raging
