Arcane Episteme
The Arcane Episteme is the most influential magical institution in Regalia, operating as a neutral order of arcane scholars and enforcers of magical law. Formed centuries ago in the aftermath of uncontrolled magical wars, the Episteme was established with the singular purpose of ensuring that magic, one of the most volatile forces in the world, serves the realm rather than divides it.
The organization’s influence stretches beyond politics—guilds, armies, academies, and royal families alike must reckon with their authority when dealing with magic. Their neutrality is sacred. But their watchfulness is absolute.

"In knowledge, balance. In balance, power."Every kingdom in Regalia, by treaty or tradition, hosts a Court Mage appointed by the Episteme. These representatives are not only powerful advisors, but also watchers and regulators, reporting back to the Episteme Council, a group of Archmages who draft and uphold the Codex Arcanum, the continent-wide magical legal code.
