Military action
Wizards go to war.
In the year of 695 BC, the Mages had total control of Fetesca for about 250 years and some of them wanted more. However, this did not sit well with many of the schools, who thought the brotherhood had given up Wizardly Pursuits for secular power. In an attempt to unite the Brotherhood in the cause of conquest, Naz Jeris current Head of the school of Necromancy, attacked the school of Divination, among whom were his staunchest opposition. Several other schools joined the attack while the majority took to the defense of the Diviners. The war killed many thousands of people and the magic released poisoned the land and eventually completely destroyed Drem. This is when the 8 lost schools were exterminated. After the war which lasted 3 years, the Supporters of the Necromancers were driven out of Fetesca and into Arakeen. The losers united under the name Brotherhood of the Dark Cabal. The winners reformed their organization as the Academy of the Arcane, and moved their towers and operations to the new capital of Fetesca, Hosiana.
