“Pah! I don’t care if you are the Duke of Cratha. You could be the Emperor of Sauxsix, for all it matters, and I still wont let you see the archmage. Do you think he is interested in your petty squabbling over claims of territory or your entitled aspirations on expanding your empire’s boundaries? Fabricate your schemes elsewhere. That’s the same thing I told that peacockish emissary from Tenebry. You can bust each other’s heads for all I care, but don’t you dare try to bring the wizard’s of Oscal under your reign!
Be glad that we continuously labour to enlighten you brutes and seek to bring some sense to this world. Now, let me get back to important matters. Before I try that spell of polymorph on you.”
The great
City State of Oscal hosts the most powerful and well-known wizard academy on the continent. Talented adepts of all races seek a coveted spot in the wizard’s academy and students of numerous disciplines conduct their studies in various colleges around the vast university city. Engineers, mathematicians, astronomers, language and art students, all seek out tutelage in the manifold academic institutions of Oscal.
Politically the wizards of Oscal, who are headed by
Archmage Berbamort Thaddnuval, have remained independent of a political ruler and do not pledge allegiance to a duke or even a king. They do although offer their services as advisors and will make use of their power and influence if they see their own liberty threatened.
King Aerric Ealdeheart's closest advisor, a gnome named
Jevemtek Bebarval, has long been a member of the wizard academy’s high council, so the bond between the Realm of Irimond and the wizards is strong and amicable. As of late the
The Kahanaht Dominion has sought out the wizards more frequently but their threatening demeanour does not sit well with the wizard council. Nonetheless, the wizards stay impartial in political struggles. So far.
