The Council of Advancement and Awareness
The Council of Advancement and Awareness seeks to to preserve all written and spoken knowledge, including religious texts, prophecies, and oral histories; and ensure the far reach of civilization, invention, and the eradication of barbarism. They wish to ensure that magic while useful never is taken to a point that is detrimental to the world. In order to achieve this goal the Council sends teams out to the world to traverse the lands to find lost tomes, speak to those with lost knowledge, remove those who would seek to destroy others with magic, and teach all they come across the gifts that The Builder and The Giver of Insight have to share through both peaceful and military missions.
The next ring of the base is the housing for those who work for the Council and those who attend the school; the following ring is the school campus that is able to handle 9,000 students with a teaching staff of 1,800. Each ring of the Council’s base is protected by a wall made of Ironwood stone allowing the base to be highly protected by magical means.
