Jadewyn

If the magic city of Shadegrove is in fact a city, Jadewyn is a metropolis. The pinnacle of magic, Jadewyn is the world's most magically powerful city. Controlled and run by the Order of Eon Tempus, the city of Jadewyn is a place where all magic is accepted, though some are more heavily policed than others. The city is guarded by ivory walls and an impenetrable magical barrier. It is said that even the gods themselves would be unable to pierce it. There have been numerous attempts throughout the years, some minor incursions, others on a grander scale. But, all failed. While some think it's purely thanks to the Eon Tempus, others put their faith in the Deity of Light, Qilin, who was the regional guardian before the Disappearance. Their medium was one of the founding members of not only Jadewyn, but the Order itself. The Order technically came from the disciples of Qilin who branched out from the temple, though many long cut their ties to the deity early on.

    Industry & Trade

    While there are master craftsmen and women who make plenty of goods, the city relies heavily on imports, especially agriculture. There are gardens, but most of the food in the city comes further north of the city at Claymere's northern reaches or from the fishermen who fish the Draconic Sea. The city makes most of its money through the guilds and their contract work.

    Guilds and Factions

    Order of the Eon Tempus

    The Order is the ruling entity of the city itself and it is here that their main temple, school, library, barracks, and training grounds are located. Not only that, the city has various shops dedicated to all magics and professions, inns, taverns, and parks, among other places of interest.
    Unlike their small sector in Shadegrove, the Eon Tempus in Jadewyn is built like a full on military force. Not only are there countless members responsible for the city's safety, but there is also two full forces ready to go out at a moment's notice to anywhere in the world, along with a special force group on par with many top guilds. There is only one that makes them nervous, the Enforcers guild. The Enforcers have done a job or two for the Eon Tempus, though the who, what, where, when, any why are unknown.
    The Eon Tempus has many members that are known throughout the world.   The Weaver A man known only to many by the name 'The Weaver' works within the Eon Tempus. It has been said this individual has actually been many over the eons, other claim it to have always been the same being. The Weaver is said to be the creator of tombs located within the depths of the archives that depict the stories of the deities, mediums, heroes of the past, and the battles and deeds that made them so. In easier terms, he is the world's--or even history itself's--official archivist.
    The Artisans Grandmaster architects, one is a half-elf and the other is a human. They have worked together so much some think they are brothers. Some of their most popular buildings are a clocktower and a museum gallery.
    The Huntresses Two half-elves skilled at hunting that travel the world.
    The Seeker A bard.
    The Blessed A cleric.
    The Barbarian ^_^
    ((Add in goc's to make a large guild)) An old guild, formally the most powerful back in their time. The Enforcer's leader, BloodXIII, knew them.
