Overview of the Avendale Royal Mages Guild
Mission of the Avendale Royal Mages Guild:
The mission of the Avendale Royal Mages Guild is to provide an
infrastructure to encourage and support those casters of celestial magic
who travel to the Kingdom of Avendale. The Guild exists to organize
celestial magics in defense of the land and its people, to provide
services of identification, magical construction, scroll making and other
celestial arts and sciences.
History of the Avendale Royal Mages Guild:
Early in the year of 600, Archmage of Shadow Lyonesses was discovered
trapped in a magical stasis in the ruins of Fort Locklear. The Archmage
had been trapped there since the fall of the Empire of Brisbane and was
very thankful for his release. Lyonesses quickly swore his loyalty to
Queen Niomi and began to use his awe inspiring celestial power in service
of the Kingdom. Queen Niomi Avendale noted a gaping hole in the area of
Celestial Magics in her kingdom and appointed Lyonesses as High
Guildmaster of her a new Royal Mages Guild. After not a years service in
this role, Lyonesses vanished while performing magical experimentations.
Witnesses nearby his guildhall reported an awesome roar, followed by a
flow of almost tangible inky blackness from the hall, which then faded
away in the light. When the strange black fog cleared, the guild hall,
the Guild Master and a number of his assistants had vanished, no magic's
yet have been able to discern their whereabouts.
The guild was in turmoil, and to the forefront of this stepped Mathias
Raveloch, he had worked briefly with Lyonesses as an Assistant
Guildmaster. The Queen looked at Ravelochs history and record and
appointed him to take Lyonesses place.
High Guildmaster Mathias Raveloch studied at the College of Celestial
Magic of the Evendarrian Royal Academy of Arcane Arts and Sciences, and at
the end of his ten years of study, he became a professor for almost 60
years. Raveloch a human sought to retire. At 102 Raveloch decided that
he disliked retirment and wished to go back to teaching. Raveloch Began
to teach at the newly founded Avendale Royal Academy. Mathias Raveloch
found now that teaching did not have the same draw it once had, and after
only three years he once more retired. It was then that he was approached
by Lyonesses and asked to be an Assistant Guildmaster, which he accepted.
In this capacity High Guildmaster Lyonesses called on him to act as a sort
of Liaison to the Evendarrian Guilds and Academy using Ravelochs extensive
connections to the advantage of Avendale.
Mathias Raveloch has had a much more hands off approach to running the
Mage's Guilds. Allowing the Guild masters who run the local guild halls
more free will. Raveloch ensures that support is provided when requested,
but he allows them their own books and does not centrally manage the
guilds business. Raveloch spends a great deal of his time traveling and
meeting with mages of other lands, in an attempt to establish a rapport
between the guilds of many lands, and allow for a trade of knowledge and
information.
Working in the Avendale Royal Mages Guild:
The mundane day to day tasks of the Avendale Royal Mages Guild do not tend
to be overly exciting. Routine identifications, scroll making and for
those so skilled, the creation of magical weapons and items through formal
magics. On occasion the Royal Mages Guild is asked to help the Avendale
Royal Academy in research pertaining to those things of a Celestial
nature. The Kingdom of Avendale being built within the ruins of the
Empire of Brisbane frequently comes acrossed many strange artifacts,
documents and phenomena left by the long gone civilization. At the
bequest of the Royal Academy the Royal Mages Guild brings their powers of
lore, identification and divining to bear on some occasions.
Sometimes, due to the incursion of beasts and creatures both magical and
mundane, traps, pitfalls and a multitude of other dangers, a call goes up
through the mages guild to its members who belong to that hearty class of
people, the adventurer. To this end, the Royal Mages Guild tries to
recruit adventurers into its ranks, so that those task too dangerous for
the common scholar can be undertaken. Likewise in times of wars and
battles, the kingdom looks to the Royal Mages Guild to organize the
celestial casting adventurers, to bring their awesome might down upon the
enemy.
Structure of the Avendale Royal Mages Guild:
The Avendale Royal Mages Guild is now in its third year of existance. In
its brief time, it has gone through a number of dramatic changes to the
kingdom. Avendale also being a frontier, with many violent and often
lethal creatures and events coming forth frequently, the turnover in some
of the more frontierslike estates has been high. Additionally there are a
number of new estates and territories that have not yet had a full
guildhall built in them and as such a new guildmaster has not yet been
assigned. A full guildhall and guildmaster have not yet been established
in the Barony of the Silvermyst.
