The Society of Practioners
The Society of Practitioners is an elite order of Wizards that was founded on the belief powerful wizards so make powerful contributions. Some Practitioners are molded from a young age while others strive their entire lives to be accepted in the Society and never succeed.
With a very long history highlighted by glorious achievements and others marred by heinous atrocities. Most Practitioners strive to enrich the world around them through the use of magic. Throughout the ages the Society has crafted several arcane masterpieces that have proven monumental to Traith and still benefits from to this day. The oldest and most used contribution is Slaughrigdar created by the first High Practitioner Merthraster. Slaughrigdar is a demiplane created for the sole purpose of collecting trash and waste. Almost all of Traith's trash and waste ends up here with most city's sewers draining into portal that empty out in Slaughrigdar.

Public Agenda

Plight of the Practitioners
The Society of Practitioners is currently in the mists of schism. Several former members of varying ranks have reappeared and joined together in an effort to tarnish the Society's reputation or bring down the organization as a whole. Lead by the former High Practitioner Crildoon this group has labeled itself the Fraternity of Dark Arcanum. Its members are comprised of fallen Practitioners, Warlocks, Sorcerers and other Wizards who wield dark magics for personal gain.Mage Mind
Memebers of the Society of Practitioners tend to be more susceptible to the condition known as Mage Mind. The reason for this is the powerful levels of magic they research and cast. Many Practitioners have fallen victim to this horrible condition that eats away at the mental faculties of powerful arcane casters drawing them closer to insanity.
