The Order of the Grey Mages

The Protectors of Knowledge

Structure

The Grey Mages are lead by the Archmage, who is selected by the Grey Council. The Grey Council is composed of the oldest and wisest of the Mages, who are appointed to the Council by their peers when they have shown through their actions that they are worthy of the honor. The Grey Council is responsible for educating acolytes, and for setting policy with the surrounding kingdoms. The Archmage is the most powerful mage in the Tower, and is charged with the protection of the Tower and the artifacts within it from those who would misuse them.

Public Agenda

The Grey Mages believe that there is no higher purpose than understanding the world around them, and developing knowledge in individuals. That being said, they also strongly believe that knowledge, when used for the wrong purposes, is the most dangerous weapon of all. Therefore, the Grey Mages have taken it upon themselves to seek out, catalog, and, if necessary, protect, magical artifacts and repositories of knowledge.
