Council of Wizards
The Council of Wizards, officially the Council of Wizards of Winetha, is an organisation of wizards located within the city of Winetha, located in the Great Kingdom of Aerdy on the coast of the Solnor Ocean. It is the single largest group of independent Aerdy mages outside of the cities of Rel Deven, home of the Eldritch Lords, and Rel Astra, home of the Sorcerer's Nexus.
Its most well-known members are Cyricus Oltmann, Vitula d'Argentan, Adelina von Mecklen, and Griff Silverburrow.
History
The Council of Wizards received sanction of its official charter from the Overking Manshen in 102 CY. The charter proclaims that the group is strictly democratic and any major decisions must be put to vote of the Council. Although dissent is common, it is not allowed to interfere with the everyday business or collective interest of the city of Winetha. This codified collegiality and collective strength is what has held this guild together.
The Council of Wizards boasts many great enchanters and artificers. Modestly prolific, yet highly inventive, they excel more in the craft of magic than its actual practice. The Council of Wizards is credited with the creation of many common magical implements such as potions, sorcerous armaments, and wands. Members of the Council are suspicious in nature and attuned to their own self-interests, so much so that outside magicians are rarely welcome to join.
Though the Council of Wizards continues to perform some of the duties once required of it by the Malachite Throne, the Overking has long since lost the ability to compel this group of magicians to do anything. The guild usually limits its services to minor magical resupply and advising the throne on arcane matters.
