Archmage
Archmage is a title of great power and responsibility in the Amethyst Academy. Each Archmage runs their own stronghold within the organization and answers only to the Directorate. This is not to say they are without responsibilities. They are responsible for the location and training of mageborn in their region, the safety of the students and staff, maintaining their stronghold, and furthering the goals of the Academy. Any Archmage found to be in violation of these directives could face punishment from the Directorate, up to being stripped of their position and title.
The position of Archmage of Drakkenheim is currently vacant. In order to fill it, the Amethyst Academy would have to retake the Inscrutable Tower. Unfortunately, it is located in the Inner City. They have so far been unable to breach the City Wall and so are stymied in their efforts.
