Amaforth Academy

General

• Ever since the end of the Demonic Invasions, the number of Mages in Earthland has been increasing exponentially. More and more people are born as natural mages, blessed by the ability to use magic without any of the gruelling training many mages endure to open their magic circuits. Faced with an ever-growing number of Mages lacking proper Guidance, the Magic Council reached out to one of the most prestigious Magic Schools, Amaforth Academy, to fund and develop their institution in exchange for their admittance of any mage who desired knowledge.
  
  
• A school that welcomed any mages who displayed the ability to reach the Island, no matter their means. The island's ancient tradition said that any who accomplished this was free to train at the island and seek mentorship from its elders. Even if they lacked any innate ability to use magic, they would find masters who, like them, lacked this ability and instead focused on Magical Artifacts and Martial arts. They have maintained this tradition even now that access to the Island has been massively facilitated by the installation of Teleporters by the Magic Council, scattered across most Guilds, Council Buildings and smaller Magic Academies.
  
  
• Despite being funded by the Magic Council, Amaforth is an independently governed territory. Guild affiliations, Country allegiance or even Bounties hold no sway here, where knowledge is the only pursuit and its reward. However, its Headmaster and Senior Teaching body are mages of unparalleled power, capable of evicting even the most unruly of students, after which they would be at the mercy of whichever authorities await them on the other side.
