Theithos College
The Theithos College is the most prestige magic school of the Rhufein Empire and is under the leadership of the Dewin. Here, people can learn magic from the most powerful of mages, wizards and warlocks.
The archmage of the college is Oman Sevanas.
Purpose / Function
The purpose of the College is to teach those capable of wielding magic to control the magical forces that they posses. To bring knowledge of the arcane to those who are worthy. To uncover the secrets of the planes. Here the more transcendent subjects are studied. For the more mundane subjects students would have to go to the University of Elgast.
But the College also functions as a guildhouse. Many of the mages of the Dewin work there in order to bring in money or to discover new artefacts. These are stored in the Arinar Museum. But the College provides beds for members and other handy perks.
There is also the Avalon Laboratory where experiments are done in order to better understand magical creatures and the way they behave.
There are many different subjects taught at Theithos College. The list per semester is on the Dewin Course Catalogue. Every school of magic, however, is represented by a professor who specializes in that type of magic.
The first is evocation magic taught by the head professor Alva Highmane.
The second subject is transmutation magic and is taught by Theodorus Similis.
The third subject is abjuration magic and is taught by Cassandra Whitemane, who took the job after her sister Sif Whitemane joined the Synod.
The fourth school of magic is conjuration taught by Torleif Lutsi, who took on the position after the practice of necromancy was forbidden.
The fifth school of magic is divination and taught by Naela Arapeiros, the youngest professor to have ever taught at the college.
The sixth school of magic is enchantment and taught by Gerontius Oakbottom who is world renowned for his enchanting ability and his services are requested the world over. It is through him that the Dewin gets a lot of money.
Defenses
The building itself is protected by a trespassing spell. Only those with the right sigil can enter without alarming the guards of the college.
History
The Theithos College was founded by the Rhufein Empire with the idea to institutionalize magic. That way magic could be controlled and used constructively.
Using the Lich King Heriotza, they felt the need to research magic, to use it in their campaigns throughout Arthenos.
Throughout the decades, however, the Theithos College gained a lot more independence since the empire has been weakened by the recent two wars.
Tourism
There are many reasons to visit the college, but obviously the most common reason is to study at the greatest academy this continent has to offer. Many students come here to learn the art of magic from a young age, although we don't really have an age restriction. Students have to be 18 or older in human years to join the college but there is no ceiling on the age that can join.
Every week there are also seminars where people who have the money can go to to listen to a lecture of an esteemed professor or a promising doctorate student. It is quite expensive since the seats are limited and not everyone can join. But for those willing to pay the price, they definitely get their money's worth.
