Circle of Everstone

The Circle of Everstone manage the Arcanarium Magistrex, the largest collection of arcane knowledge found on Irdas. They are considered the ultimate authorities on magic and spend much of their time establishing guidelines and standards for magical practice, which all respectable wizards will follow out of fear of looking bad or losing access to the knowledge that the Arcanarium harbors.

The Circle is comprised of 9 members, 8 representing a school of magic and 1 representing the school of alchemy, who does not vote on matters unless there is a tie. Each member of the circle holds the title of Arch-wizard, with the title being tailored to the specific school of magic, such as Arch-Necromancer or Arch-Illusionist.

Each member of the Circle of Everstone has a senior apprentice and most have dozens of other apprentices who do research for them and do their will. These wizards will spend years under the tutelage of the Circle, then set out on their own and are often regarded as very valuable wizards to government councils and adventuring parties.
