Cobalt Sun

The Cobalt Sun is the central authority across Vehasi for mages, wizards, bards, and those who study magic. All universities that teach any of the schools of magic must have direct communication with the Cobalt Sun, and high-ranking Cobalt Sun members often teach at such institutions. The Cobalt Sun is made up of a number of different branches, one for each school of magic, and each of these branches has an official board of that school underneath which any mage who wants to graduate from a university must register with.

Structure

The highest authority within the Cobalt Sun is the Circle of High Archmages, with nine members, one for each of the major schools of magic, and each the head of their own board of their type of magic. The Circle is responsible for overseeing each of their respective boards, and communicate any major issues their board is facing with the other High Archmages. The leader of the Circle is elected by majority vote of the other High Archmages (who are not permitted to abstain or vote for themselves, at risk of being removed from the Circle and replaced by the next-highest ranking of their board), and the current leader is Athlai Lealla, leader of the Board of Dunamancy and the youngest leader of the Cobalt Sun in history. The title for members of the Circle is "High Archmage [School] of the Circle", and this title precedes their name in formal introductions. The leader of the Circle is referred to as "Grand High Archmage [School] of the Circle", with the current leader being known as Grand High Archmage Dunamancer of the Circle Athlai Lealla. While the members of the boards do have large titles, and these titles are often used in formal introduction, even the board members themselves find them too clunky and will generally shorten them to either just their role (spellmaster, warmaster, etc) or their school (abjuration, transmutation, etc) for ease of speech.
There are nine main branches of the Cobalt Sun, each representing a school of magic. Each of these boards has 5 members, including the head of the board who is a member of the Circle. All decisions in a given board are made by a majority vote, meaning anything attempting to be passed needs 3 votes in its favour in order to do so. In order for any member of any of the boards to be removed from the board, or for a member of the Circle to be removed from the Circle, a unanimous vote is required between the rest of the members of that board or the Circle. Within a board, the highest-ranking member is known as the High Archmage of their school. The second-in-command in a board is known as the First Archmage of their school, and performs the duties of the High Archmage if the High Archmage is, for whatever reason, incapable of doing so. The other three members of the board have separate responsibilities, with one being the Spellmaster Archmage [School], one being the Warmaster Archmage [School], and one being the Inscriber Archmage [School]. The Spellmaster is responsible for reviewing and managing spells within their school, the Warmaster is responsible for regulation the applications of their school of magic within war and other interpersonal conflicts, and the Inscriber keeps track of the registered members of the school as well as keeping track of any legal documents relating to their board. If any of these three positions is opened for any reason, the rest of the board must choose via majority vote (with the High Mage of the board being the tiebreaker) a new member for their board. Members of any of the boards within the Cobalt Sun are not permitted to have ties to government organisations, on threat of removal from their board.
