The Mage's Guild

One of two powerful Guilds ruling over the city of Yuria. The Mages' Guild focuses on arcane research, discovery and experiments. It is home to a massive library of historical and magical knowledge.

Involvement with The Rat Pack
The Rat Pack first encountered the Mages' Guild following Ranaan's arrest for attempted sedition. The Mages and Mechanists were racing to get their hands on Ranaan in order to figure out what secrets he was in possession of, as the weapon he had used to blow a hole in a tavern roof was of significant interest to the Mechanists.

The Mages used their arcane abilities to interrogate Ranaan, forcefully taking his knowledge and memories. Ranaan was freed from prison, but the encounter left him with traces of magical ability.

Vern, an ally of the Rat Pack, is a former member of the Mages' Guild who left due to several core disagreements with the Guild.

The Rat Pack met the First Abjurer of the Mages' Guild, Decanus Alexius Tallis, who aided them when Ten'chu was captured by an Oni in Dagdum. He granted the Rat Pack access to the Mages' Guild Library.

Rumors
The Mages' Guild are slowly becoming the bogeymen of the city of Yuria; disappearances are increasing in the city areas closest to the Mages' buildings, and there is talk of otherworldly rituals being practiced. Perhaps these things are related to the so called war of the guilds, but its all truly he says she says.

The Mages' Guild was built around a point of pure raw energy from the Gods. The feats of the Guild are legend, and some believe the reason for this is that a relic of the Gods was found and the mages harness it to receive a boost in power. This also goes hand in hand with the rumor that using this apparent energy source causes one to go mad, and that is why there are less and less leaders of the mages guild appearing in public at events, for they are either mad and detained or have died.
