Mages Guild of Arcanum

Present Day
The Mage's Guild of Arcanum is an organization spanning Rathnir and Eldham, dedicated to the study and practice of the many arcane arts within the plane. It is currently led by the Arch Mage and founder, Nexus, whilst being assisted by the Council.

Universities
The guild currently has two universities. One of which is located within the town of Drax Silvaria, residing within the Eldhamite nation of Varn Torum.

The second university under the guild’s jurisdiction is owned by Dudley Fudder, being the Vintas Institute of Arcanum. Located in Vintas, Eldham.

Origins
The guild is one of an interesting past, being one of the first of its kind. Although the reasons why the Arch Mage had founded it are unclear, it serves as a vast source of magic and lore.

Founding
Before the days of the Mages Guild, Kjarden Nexus spent the earlier years of his training in the military of his homeland, and writing. He was born outside of Rathnir, but was exiled due to new government after a war. When he reached the continent of Rathnir after a fairly long travel, he began to study the arcane arts.

He lived a nomadic lifestyle, and eventually met a man named CheezyChaza, who also studied magic. Cheezy shared the interesting discoveries he stumbled upon, having to do with a certain arcane practice, Blood Magic. The two had decided to travel together, and picked up a few companions on the way.

After the constant study and curiosity having to do with monsters, the two mages have decided to form a group of hunters. These men of blades will be specialized in the pursuing of monsters. This way, their research could be taken to the next level, or… at least that was the plan.

Their organization began to grow, and had slain a few monsters of the lesser kind. Yet, Nexus began to develop an ambition of his own, with the help of one of their newer members of the hunting guild. His name, was Orion Alatrius Silver Storm. Nexus was intrigued by the lad’s heavy interest in magic.

It was when the two were having a discussion about magic and its classifications, that Nexus came to realization. No one had really classified the many ways magic can be wielded. He brought up this topic with Orion, and the conversation eventually led to a vision. On April 5th, 2022, Nexus had founded a new guild, one of magic, one… of mages.
