Hermetic Symposium
The Hermetic Symposium is a loose organization of wizards and others in the arcane arts who have created a curriculum for those interested in learning the arcane arts in Dierde. They don't have an established building and the role of Dean is transferred yearly based on the bylaws of their pact. They have a large collection of professor orbs, but occasionally these do go missing for a variety of reasons.
They have long been a part of Towekind, and so they are generally respected by all but the Grand University of Mysthaven, although due to a bet lost long ago there is limited library privileges to any final year student of The Hermetic Symposium.
