FACULTY

Strixhaven prides itself on providing the very best educators for our students. While all our faculty members are shining examples of capability and distinction, a notable hierarchy exists.

The Oracle

In the beginning, the five deadly sages of the skies oversaw all activities of the university. Eventually, they relinquished this charge to a singular member of the college of their choosing. This position of honor and power is known as the Oracle, and is the pinnacle of our faculty. The oracle is typically the wisest and most accomplished mage of the plane, understanding fundamental truths about the nature of magic, knowing hundreds or even thousands of spells, and possessing impeccable judgment and virtue. Our current Oracle is remarkable woman by the name of Jadzi.

Dean

Each college has two deans who each head up one half of that college. Each dean is a powerful mage and distinguished professor who's aligned with one of the two mana colors of that college. The ten deans are like contradictory advisors to the entirety of their college; they have deep professional rivalries with each other and always disagree with the other about the best path for studying magic.

Professor

Professors of Strixhaven are mages advanced in their chosen magical field who have devoted their lives to teaching other mages. There are several ranks of professors according to seniority, the distinction of magical research, and knowledge of spells.

Instructor

A mage who teaches classes and their own curriculum but who has not yet passed a provisionary period of observation and evaluation to become a tenured professor.

Emeritus

A professor who no longer holds a position at Strixhaven is often called a mage emeritus. Mages emeritus are frequently held in high esteem as guest lecturers and speakers.
