Damaran Mage's Guild
The Magician's Guild of Heliogabalus is the center of arcane study in the Bloodstone Lands. The goals of the build are to regulate the teaching and use of magic and increase the acceptance and study of magic in a land where mages are frowned upon. They also seek to become one of the primary repositories of lore and study in Damara.

Structure and Headquarters
The Magicians’ Guild of Heliogabalus, an organization that was once the center of magical research in the nation, maintains its formal offices in the South End of Heliogabalus. The curriculum of the Mages' Guild focuses on tradition. Spellcasters of all types are trained to master a small list of basic spells. These spells are not included in their list of known or prepared spells, always at the Guild Mages beck and call. The Archmage of the Magician's Guild is Telari Avondal. Telari replaced Archmage Teldon after Teldon stepped down at the end of the Bloodstone Wars. Telari was once the apprentice of Baroness Sylvia of Ostel, though since her appointment, the Guild has taken no positions on the politics of Damara.Assets
