The Guild of Elemental Magics
The Towers for the Guild of Elemental Magics are in the western Section of the City of Dunland Prominently towering above the city Walls. This is one of the most prominent Schools for the Arcane Arts in Evermyst. The Guild Education Halls, Towers, and Library sit behind their private walls just off High Magic Lane and Enchanters Way.
Elemental Mages have served The King of Rivenor and the Kingdom for Centuries even before the kingdom was formed. Many Educated within its halls have even served in the King's Armies. Elementalist Mages are slightly different than those of other magical schools of training as they hone and practice magics tied to one specific Element from the Five Elements of Magic Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit. Every Elemental Mage has Specific Talents and Ties towards one of these five Elements, Although they may be capable of Magics outside their Element they are not as capable or powerful as they are with their Inherant Element.
Becoming a Mage of the Guild:
Every Year the Guild holds a recruiting event in the Birth month of the guild's High Chancellor. They Announce to the City of Dunland and send Announcements to all the Towns, and Hamlets within the Kingdom that the Guild will be accepting a specific number of applicants to be educated in the Arcane Arts and Accepted into the Guild. Being accepted into the Guild is a prestigious honor but all who come out and apply do not get accepted and even some who are do not rise above the level of Avowed Initiate. As Potential Initiates Gather in hopes of gaining acceptance into the Guild Higher Ranking Guild Mages and Enducators interview each applicant to access their potential this is a screening process that usually takes two to three weeks. Applicants are judged on their Magical Aura, Temperament, Patience, Demeanor, and Potential to Channel Arcane Energies within their Aura's Element. The Applicants may bring Witnesses personal or written vouchers about their potential and character to become a mage of the Guild of Elemental Magics. Even though they might not be accepted some are encouraged to return and apply after honing their Arcane abilities. The Event Concludes with a Final Interview of all the final round of applicants by the Guild's Grand Chancellor who then holds an announcement ceremony and feast to honor those accepted into the Guild.Education and Training:
Once accepted into the Guild an applicant earns the Rank of Avowed Initiate and access to the Guild's vast library and educators. How a member applies themselves in their chosen element determines how far they advance within the Guild. This also determines the level of knowledge that is shared within the Guild's Libraries with the Member. Training is Intensive till one has proven themselves capable of specific Arcane magics tied to their element. If one's potential proves to be lackluster they may be asked to leave education halls although they will still hold the rank of Avowed Initiate in which case they may return in a later year with slightly better standing and go through the acceptance process in another year. Guild members can often be tasked with missions, or quests, or sent out on adventures as part of their Training.Ranks within the Guild:
