The Arcane Brotherhood
The Arcane Brotherhood is a cabal of powerful wizards that operates out of the Host Tower of the Arcane in Luskan. The brotherhood’s leadership consists of five renowned archmages who handpick the other members, favoring wizards of great accomplishment. Every year, scores of wizards from across Faerûn flock to the Hosttower of the Arcane, hoping to gain admittance into the prestigious ranks of the brotherhood. Nearly all candidates are dismissed out of hand, without so much as a test, feeding rumors that the brotherhood’s leaders are more interested in marketing their own brand of exclusivity than finding new talent. Yet wizards seem willing to debase themselves regardless, for admittance to the brotherhood grants access to the Host Tower’s incredible libraries of magical lore.
