The Mages of Bluetrench

An organization of wizards not linked to worshippers or Katya or Sardior, founded in the last 300 years, at the tail end of the Draconic Wars.

• Based in Fossazul / Bluetrench. The Academy was founded in 84th year of the Century Long War. It's based in a spire, inspired by the Academies of Rutram, that juts straight out og the Filocite Crater.
• The avoidance of the worship of Katya and Sardior is another point in common with the Rutram True Wizards

Bluetrench is a focus for magical and spellcasting study and manufacture due to the high density of the Weave in its area, as well as the richness of Filocite crystals under the city- physical manifestations of the weave, frequently purple, but blue in its densest form, hence the city's name.

The Mages of Bluetrench are extremely particular about who they recruit, gaining a reputation of mainly discrimination and legacy hires.
