Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors
The Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors is the guild for arcane spellcasters within the city of Waterdeep. Although technically a guild protecting the interests of arcane spellcasters, it also acts as a magic academy and policing force for the city. All visitors to the city are questioned upon entry be a member of the Order, and are expected to register with the Order if they are an arcane spellcaster. The Order often assists the City Watch or City Guard with investigations and disaster response, and its members are expected to help defend the city if attacked.
The Order provides a wide variety of services to its members, such as access to magic items, spells, training, and other mages to socialise with. Members are expected to pay a due of 20 gp per month and provide services to the city, such as aiding the city's forces or crafting magic items. Mages that refuse to register with the Order are (according to Guild Law but not legally) denied a number of privileges, such as residence in the city, charging for casting spells, selling scrolls or magic items, or cast spells in the city streets.
