Tarrat Towers
the Tarrat Towers are the highest magical authority in the land, conserving and teaching magic to and for younger generations.
Structure
the highest position is held by two mages, the Wardens. then, the aristocracy/clergy-esque high mages, followed by professors, and then Students
Culture
Often, tower mages view themselves as highly esteemed members of Ammaran. However, this view doesn't extend to all tower rats, as especially younger denizens are in contact with the rest of the country and see themselves reflected in its peoples. The core beliefs of the Tarrat Towers are to preserve and harness magical energy and potential. the organisation functions both as a governing body and a school, providing guidance and policy to the government and training mages around the country. However, its approach to this changes with the appointment of two new Wardens every 50 years. The Towers act as their own small cultural biodome, with unique customs and festivities. Founders day: once a year, 9th September, the Towers themselves are repainted and repaired, dancing, etc. High Moon: once every 5 years, day of intense magical power and recommitment to uphold the purpose of the Towers.
Public Agenda
With a large amount of political sway and influence over the decisions of the Concilium, the Towers project an image of harmony and a unity with the land and magic of Ammaran. They describe themselves as the finest organisation for inquiring minds in the world, and boast alumni including world leaders and heroes. they aim to study and improve the flow of magic around the continent, and harness this power to better the lives of all.
Assets
With quite an amount of wealth stored within its walls and its people, the Towers are very wealthy. While one doesn't necessarily have to pay to go there, scholarships are rare and most students get in based on legacy and wealth. The Towers themselves are tall and ancient, made of bedrock and lead. The Tower Rats themselves are very influential, and to have your settlement or organisation house or employ one is a sign of great wealth and esteem.
History
The Tarrat Towers were founded 9th of September, 3195 years ago. The original Wardens, Lucretai and Zubasia, built them as a way to unify mages and study the curious nature of magic. also they were wives because this is my story and i control the lesbians. Over 60 dual Wardens later, the Towers stick to this idea, albeit with some modifications in the finer details. Instead of just learning, mages from the Towers often have the secondary role of a diplomatic or political figure.
