Lore

After the Massacre at Gremcrown the archemages of the world realized that they couldn't keep themselves seperated from the matter of the lands so almost all of them agreed to create a university to train wizards and gain the support of the people. After a few years of building and recruiting, the Unvieristy of Magic was opened.

However around 100 years later a collation of heroes and villains barely stopped the return of the Night-Swallower, the final battle destroyed Mage University and the remains of the collation promised to help rebuild the school. As a result the members of the collation added new classes to the university and the school's reputation grew from there.

Over the next 24 years faculty members came and went until everything stabilized when the current staff was assembled. The current staff makes heavy use of simulacrums to managed multiple classes at once (except for Svyi-Sillya, she hires Devils/demons/celestials/fey to help her teach). allowing for each class to have access to the teacher's full knowledge. However due to the recent Terra-Crisis and the Banning of Enchantments for World Security (BEWS) the university could be forced to fire the much beloved teacher Wittis Calon.

Mage U is controlled by a congress containing the current teachers of advanced/basic [School of Magic]. Although the congress is generally held in high regard many students disapprove of how quickly the congress accepted the ruling of BEWS and fire Wittis Calon in accordance with it. There have been rumors of a coup de grace on the congress but nothing has happened yet (Wittis denies any connection to the rumored coup de grace).




Thoughts on the school? Any ideas or questions?

(Sorry for any grammatical errors I will fix them later)
