College of Sultai (Soul-tye)
University specializing in Divination, Enchantment, Necromancy, Biomancy, Perception, and Investigation. Sultai Agents are widely considered to have the greatest understanding of magic, the arcane, and mana itself. They excel at sensing & detecting sources of magic, identifying it, and understanding it. In addition, their understanding of other living creatures is equally refined, and there are even some who claim Sultai can predict what you'll do before you even do it. In their endless search for knowledge, the Sultai are said to have dabbled in the forbidden magics mind control employed by the Thought Reapers, but sufficient evidence has yet to be uncovered to prove this so.
It's hard to catch someone who's always thinking at least two steps ahead of you.

Military
The Sultai don't get in a fight they can't win. If you see them on the field of battle, that is a bad sign for you. If none are to be seen, that is a good sign for you!
Foreign Relations
If someone encounters a magical phenomenon they can't explain, they call in the Sultai. In many cases, the Sultai call in to examine it themselves first. They are one of the few colleges who never want for funds, leading many to believe they engage in underground & illicit activities.
Some definitely do.
Education
What little is known about the Sultai curriculum is that every student's first task is to find their classroom, it doesn't matter how. Beyond that, students are taught to recognize all variety of spells, curses, and magical effects, as well as how to neutralize & counteract them. To choose one's actions carefully, know one's enemy better than they know themselves, always take the path with the greatest likelihood of success, and never be caught by surprise.
Their final exam is an impossible task they must overcome by any means necessary.
