The Conclave

The study and use of magic among wizards and sorcerers is attempted to be globally controlled by an ancient organization called The Conclave, which is in control of all the official wizard schools in the world. Most countries are in alliance with the Conclave and adhere to their rules and standards concerning magic, and the Conclave provides representative wizards to the countries to advise and assist in magical matters.

The main facility of the Conclave is on an island in western Telfaruhm which contains the headquarters and the largest wizard school in the world (Karuza). The conclave grants ranks for magic users. Members of the conclave have some amount of authority on magical matters depending on their rank. Their rank is magically engraved on their arcane focus. Self-taught, unofficially taught, or rogue wizards/sorcerers exist as well, and are not considered criminals, but are not seen as official spell casters either. They are like lawyers without a law degree, or police officers without a badge.

Members of the Conclave adhere to the rules and standards set by the Conclave. These rules generally restrict members from utilizing their magic in criminal or morally ambiguous ways. On the other hand, members of the Conclave enjoy certain advantages, mainly concerning respect, authority and the ability to officially sell their services.

The Conclave follows a general philosophy of non-partisan altruistic subordination. They believe that they could take over the world if they so willed, but with their great power, the right thing to do is to help others and not be the ones holding the highest authority. This is why they provide their wizards into the service of different factions around the world, aiming to keep the balance of powers stable and help the people of the world flourish. They do not take matters into their own hands, and instead follow the will of the world powers, which is generally the Kinsian Republic.
