The Candlehold Order
The Candlehold Order
Candlehold is the Order and magocratic city-state found in the Arreath Peaks in Avanor, north of Thivia. It was originally a Mage Spire created by a handful of imperial mages after Andarien's Rebellion, but eventually grew as it took in refugees from the Old Imperium's lands, which were at the time being torn apart by civil wars. It was not long until the Mage Spire grew into a city, and the city was to be ruled by the Candlehold Order. The Candlehold Order is one of the smaller Sanctum Orders, and its members are typically not regarded as the great spellcasters. However, Candle Mages heavily focus on a widers, theoretical study on magic, and travel the world to record not only magical findings, but cultural and historical events as well. Candlehold is home to the largest repository of knowledge in the entire world; The Great Library, that can be seen from several leagues away. Candle Mages are scribes and scrolls makers, who value knowledge more-so than they do magical mastery or control. They curate and safeguard the knowledge of countless cultures and studies; many of which are often forgotten in the sheer weight of books, tomes and scrolls found in the Candlehold Library. While most of the Candlehold Order's members are dedicated to remaining in their city and pursue research and studies in the safety of their personal sanctuaries, many Candle Mages will venture into the distant places of the world to hunt down whatever unknown knowledge they can find, then bring it back to Candlehold to be recorded, categorized and stored in the Spiral Library. They are known to sometimes send out members to interview famous people and ask to write their biography. They also travel twogether with a bard to write songs and plays about events from their lives.Map: Candlehold
The lex Sanctum
