Arcaneum Myriadé

The Arcaneum Myriadé is a founding cornerstone of the city of Journa. According to official reports, refugees of the last divine war met from separate directions on an open field in the middle of Myriáde where they encountered a raiding party of Minotaur, Orcs and Centaurs.

The Minotaur tribe defended the refugees against the Centaurs and Orcs after they begged for mercy and protection from Gallast the Shepard, chieftain of the Minotaurs, who granted them hospitality rights on their lands.

Further more, he allowed the refugees to build a settlement, insisting though that all races of Ethrea had to be welcomed and provided shelter within the settlement if they ever requested it.
The refugees, grateful for their saving, made this the creed of their settlement and sustain it to this very day.
Word has spread in all corners of the world and after the Divine War, refugees were numerous, drawn by the promise of safety.
The settlement received the name "Journa - Borg hinna frjálsu og jöfnu" which in the mother tongue of the Minotaur's translates as "The great star, city of the free and equal" .

The arcanists among the refugees saw a vast potential in sharing arcane knowledge which was at the time been forbidden to be shared amidst different groups of believers.
Within the new city borders, such a mindset would have been a hindrance or even outright dangerous, hence the Arcaneum was founded.
Today the Arcaneum is part of the central district of Journa and has two standing seats in the city council.
The Arcaneum is divided into ranks in accordance to the Arcanists accomplishment, experience and seniority:

To climb through the ranks, the candidate has to pass a written test which entitles him to be tested by a Council of higher ranked Arcanists. Each of these Arcanists may ask the candidate numerous questions, from personal to study related topics, whatever the council members deem helpful in determining the candidates capabilities.
Once all the council members have received a satisfying answer to their final question, the council comes together to judge the candidates maturity and suitability for his aspired rank.

Lastly, the Arcaneum also trains battlemages, Arcanists trained in combat and warfare with military purpose which join the Myriádi, The High Order once their training is complete.
