Mage Council

History

The origins of the Mage Council trace back to the Eras of old, so far back that they are believed to have existed even before the foundation of the Clans and even records of old history hold mention of them, Over millennia, the Council has witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations, the advent of new magical disciplines, and the continuous evolution of the arcane arts.

Throughout these epochs, the Mage Council has adapted, evolving its structure, practices, and objectives to remain relevant and powerful. With each new Era they change, adapting to the times and learning new magic of the time; expanding their already expansive knowledge base with new information and growing even further.

Gaining new members and old members alike, each of their members grows as they grow, learning as they learn. New fields being tapped into, untouched potential being brought out, and much more.

In the world of Shinseina, there exists a venerable and esteemed organization known as the Mage Council, a very old and powerful organization that gathers magic users from throughout their entire world under their name. This assembly of mages and magic users has persevered through countless eras, adapting and evolving with each new age to remain at the forefront of magical study and power. Their primary goal is to further the study of magic, achieve unparalleled mastery, and ensure the arcane arts continue to flourish.

The Grand Mages

At the helm of the Mage Council are the Grand Mages, a group of twelve immensely powerful and reclusive mages. Each Grand Mage is a master of a specific school of magic or a unique arcane discipline, and their combined knowledge and power are said to be unparalleled.

Tales of them have existed for a very long time, yet no one can truly confirm or deny these tales because of how reclusive and unknown they are. They are believed to have been present since ancient eras, either through extended lifespans granted by their magic or through a succession of titles passed down through generations.

They are immensely powerful, each one of them said to transcend the conventional magical boundaries within their own field of magic. However, they are reclusive, never leaving their areas of research or being seen by the general public. Their mere presence is a symbol of the power of the Mage Council and no one dares to threaten that.

Structure

The Mage Council is a sprawling and diverse organization, divided into several factions, each focusing on different aspects of magical study and practice. These factions collaborate and sometimes compete, driving the continuous advancement of magical knowledge and prowess.
