Seekers
The Seekers are a controversial group coming out of the border city of Westmoor. The university style building they work out of is called the Barad Roserae.
Remus Silverstaff is the leader of this wizards guild. The controversy stems from how they recruit their members. They send out emissaries throughout the world, seeking artifacts with magical properties or children with a strong connection to the magical plane. Anyone can learn magic, incant some spells and learn their way to being a half competant mage, the Seekers find those with innate gifts and spellcasting ability. They offer these people a way out from usually desperate situations. Famine, war or other downtrodden reasons. They make children swear an oath to the guild denouncing their family and all material connections so they can join the thinktank like structure of the seekers. They move to westmoor and begin studying, keeping magic knowledge within their own walls.
The Silverstaff family has a strong history with magic in Galfin. They have a strong connection and natural ability to conjure spells. They are descendants of the Oakhand royal bloodline. The original Mountain King was a magelord who developed the first spells that man could learn. He sent out his people from the mountain kingdom of Fogholt to spread the knowledge of magic across the realm.
At some point, a splinter faction set itself up in Westmoor, started by a Silverstaff, working against the wishes of their magelord. The Seekers were formed to reel all knowledge back in, collecting books and people to concentrate all magical knowledge in one controlled place. A recent famous quarrel was when two young Silverstaff brothers, both about to be sworn into the Seekers, erupted into a powerful magical fight where Boto and Remus dueled for hours into a draw. Boto wished to spread knowledge and went on to form the Wizards Guild in Skygarde, an open door to all who wished to learn and get help. Remus, after his show of power, quickly rose to the top of the seekers. The brothers represented two sides to magic, freedom and chaos vs control and order.
Another magic faction that has been at odds with the Seekers is the Triade of the Fallen Night. A group of mostly necromancers that were created in Dynastes, home of the dark elves. Although many other races have joined their ranks. These two factions are not neccessary in a battle of ideals. They fight for control over new recruits and powerful magic. Kronimane, the powerful leader of the faction was killed a few years ago, this has left a power struggle within the magic faction.
Boto was also killed recently when he sacrificed his own life to stop an invasion of the Capitol city. These two notable deaths has left Remus Silverstaff the most powerful influencer in the magic community. With this, his group that formally worked in the shadows has become much more prominent in the last 2 years.
