Hi All, I'm starting a new Campaign (See above Title)
I have GMed for close to 6 years running mostly D&D or medival/fantasy based games.
This campaign is open ended/semi-linear/rarely railroaded.
However I'd ask players to keep an open mind as I attempt to bring this story involving your characters to life.
I suggest keeping notes as I have a tendancy to give out clues in early chapters that may play a part in future chapters.
Quests are time based and will expire, open or close new quests or affect how you are viewed by the populace.
Deaths by Characters can occur and sometimes not by GM but by players. I ask that IRL not to kill each other.
Game is roughly estimated to be 3 hours at most per session.
Location: Games Garage
Day: Thursday
Timing: 7ish

All Arcane casters be they minor or major or even royalty are required to register themselves with the Brotherhood. Failure to do so will unleash the fabled Mage Hunters, the elite magic hunting squards of the Brotherhood. Arcane Casters who fail to do so are treated as renegades.
There are 8 Towers of Magic with accompanying workshops and libaries. The Spells of Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, Void and Summoning are available for a price and it is common to see journeymen and apprentices hard at work scribing or crafting.
The libraries are famous and the largest in the Empire.

Here Initates from the various Orders such as the Shining Blades train with both Blood Quils and Sliver Scales. They not only present a powerful image of unity but also to the more discerning the delicate balance that exists within. Theirs arguments are loud as they willingly cross blades and words but to cross one order is to cross all of them.
Honor is paramount to them.

Much is known about them through rumors, folk tales and stories with some scholars theorising that theeir reputation could be propagated by the members themselves.
