Description

The dwarves of Delvheim were introduced to magic when met with elven visitors around 3635 OE, where they originally thought to combine the blacksmithing trade with the arcane to enchant weapons and armour. Eventually, the dwarves began to harness their own magic through these teachings and dwarven mages became more commonly found around Delvheim.

To mark the growth of magic in Delvheim, The Mage’s Manse was built on the southern border of Delvheim, near the Beacon of Solis. It originally welcomed dwarves and elves and later allowed humans to join the guild.

Features

There are a number of significant features for the Mage's Manse to accommodate anyone with an interest to pursue magic studies.

Elemental Fountain

A stunning fountain is located in the entrance courtyard of the Mage's Manse. It features a sculpture of an elf, man and dwarf posed in a magic stance. It is no ordinary fountain, for it bears floating orbs of fire, earth, lightning, air and water.

Elemental Chambers

The Manse features safe spaces for elemental magic. Rooms immune to burning, water chambers for hydromancers, Gardens to help the earth mages and wind chambers for aeromancers.

Members & Hierarchy

The Mage's Manse is run by an Arch Mage who is elected by the members after the predecessor passes away. Some Master Mages frequent the building to train or educate others. Mages of adequate skill and knowledge but still pursuing education are considered Apprentices. Newcomers are named Novice Mages. Committed members of the Mage's Manse carry the Amulet of Balance. Members of the guild are expected to wear robes when visiting and have free reign of the training rooms, library and duelling grounds.
