League of the Grey

In the realm of Cevantia, where the arcane arts hold immense power and knowledge, not every adept of magic is content with the life of a perpetual student. For those who seek a more adventurous and hands-on existence, the League of the Grey offers an unconventional path. This enigmatic group comprises spellcasters from diverse backgrounds who come together in an informal alliance, willing to provide their magical expertise and support for the right price. Although often described as a guild, the League of the Grey operates discreetly and shrouded in secrecy, resisting the formalities and obligations typically associated with such organizations. They thrive on maintaining a low profile and are experts in avoiding the prying eyes of the Tranquil Order, who often seek to assert their control over unregulated magic.

Mission and Activities

The League of the Grey is a unique entity within the realm of Cevantia, dedicated to preserving the autonomy of spellcasters and the unrestricted use of magic. Its members commonly engage in activities that range from the smuggling of magical items to the protection of spellcasters from unjust and oppressive laws. These individuals understand the value of their magical prowess and are ready to lend their support to those who require it, provided the compensation is right.
One of the League's more distinctive services is the production of scry-proof Booths, enchanted chambers that shield individuals from magical surveillance and intrusive divination spells. These Booths have become a symbol of the League's craftsmanship and are sought after by many groups and individuals seeking to safeguard their privacy and activities from the prying eyes of authorities or rival spellcasters.

Organization

The League of the Grey maintains a loose and decentralized structure, deliberately avoiding the rigid hierarchies and formal rules associated with traditional guilds. Instead, it operates through a network of like-minded individuals who come together voluntarily and for mutual benefit. While there may be those who rise to leadership positions or assume specific responsibilities, the League fundamentally operates on a principle of equality and personal freedom.

Challenges and the Tranquil Order

The League of the Grey exists in the shadowy fringes of Cevantia, deliberately avoiding the attention of organizations such as the Tranquil Order. The Tranquil Order, a group of witch hunters and magic regulators, often considers the League a threat to their order, as its activities undermine their control over the use of magic. Consequently, the League of the Grey must exercise caution and discretion to evade the scrutiny and interference of the Tranquil Order.
