Imperial Mage Guild
The Imperial Mage Guild is one of two Imperial Guilds in the Empire, the other being the Imperial Order of Engineers. The guild is the oldest in the Empire and was established as a school for all magic users throughout the Empire. The earliest parts of the Empire were born in the ashes of a war against a tyrannical magocracy. As the fledgling Empire was being set up it became clear that, for the peace and safety of the populace, some method of training and policing casters was going to be necessary.
Ankarr Ulmstead, a long time mentor of the Emperor, Vulcan Kerendas, was asked to set up and run a new ministry. Ankarr decided that the guild needed three functions: teaching, archives, and accountability.
Teaching and archives are handled as one would expect. Guildhouses across the Empire accept students in magical arts and provides them with a safe place to learn, train, and conduct research under the careful eyes of expert tutors and masters. However, membership is mandatory. Every child in the Empire is examined by a practiced Diviner for auras indicative of latent magical ability. If the ability is found the child is enrolled at the closest guild house as a pupil. This is at the Empire's expense.
