Prismatic Order

Prismatic Order

Wizards have always been drawn to the The Plane of Air , whether to remove themselves from the multiverse’s troubles or to study the unique elemental effects found only in this realm, but these are usually loners that setup isolated towers and castles away from the eyes of others. For the Prismatic Order, however, hiding is something they cannot do – they use the seven colors of the prism to harness magical energy for their own purposes. The wizards, sorcerers, and librarians of the Prismatic Order are dedicated to magical research of all kinds, but membership is only awarded to a handful of apprentices in any annual cycle so their numbers are not great. Nonetheless, they wield considerable influence on the Plane of Air, and the Great Caliph of the Djinn is known to consult with them on magical matters from time to time. The Prismatic Order tries to keep itself neutral in terms of the maneuverings of the planar powers, and they keep to their eight citadels and castles spread across the Labyrinth Winds. Each citadel is dedicated to a color of the prismatic spectrum, in ascending order of importance and power – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Each citadel is governed by a master mage (Red Master Mage, Orange Master Mage, etc.), and the order’s central headquarters is the fabulous Prismatic Fortress. There, the Prismatic Master keeps their work, which is usually focused on greater applications of the magical color spectrum.

Though it is referred to as a single organization, the individual master mages of the Prismatic Order vary wildly in their goals and views. The current Yellow Master Mage is a dragonborn wizard dedicated to experimenting on djinni blood, which has put him in poor graces with the Great Caliph and his kin. The Indigo Master Mage is a female drow wizard focused on ways to blanket the Plane of Air in eternal darkness, and the Red Master Mage is a human wizard seeking to map all of the portals of the multiverse for archival purposes.

As long as each master mage is working to advance magical prowess in the Plane of Air and beyond, the Prismatic Master allows all such work to continue. The current Prismatic Master is an enigmatic human of considerable old age, considered by many in his own ranks to be feebleminded and frail but capable still of fending off various coups in the Prismatic Fortress.
