Arc Ebrietas

City of Many Wisdoms

Arcana Ebrietas, the college of enchantment has created around itself a façade of peace and wisdom that are all achieved by careful manipulation and spellcrafting. Known as the City of Many Names, Arc Ebrietas has grown to uphold its most important value: Peace. A calm city of green emerald hue, weapons are buried with old crudges here as well as any ill will towards the cities inhabitants. Most outside nobility visits Arc Ebrietas on regular basis as a mean to relax and lift their heavy burdens off for a week or two. For in Arc Ebrietas there is only one rule: The Academy always wins, so don't even try

Demographics

The City of Vices holds many humans, high elves, gnomes and even a large quantity of dwarven craftsmen, utilizing the many benefits of the cities culture and magic. Even if the cities goals and truthfulness are always up to debate, Arc Ebrietas might offer some of the most sought-out public forums and lyseums for those who do not simply wish to store knowledge or wisdom, but to discuss it in great detail before decisionmaking. The City of Lies is known by some with slight hatred, as the general mood-altering magics and atmosphere of the city has lead to many people spending too plenty of their hard-earned gold here. Which is exactly why Arc Ebrietas has such a bustling Commercial street.

Voices, Directors [Mockery]

General terms used for those who work or study within Arcana Ebrietas. Most respected mages and students are known as Voices, while many of Arc Ebrietas' enemies mock them as "Directors" while their citizens are "Thespianites", surrendering themselves to the academys many magics and "acting out their masters wills". Even if Arc Ebrietas should be approached with caution, and Arcana Ebrietas with even more so, there is a seed of wisdom in both these views. As master manipulators and capable of pulling the metaphorical strings of people around them, the Voices of Arcana Ebrietas hold much power in their fingertips. However, this power has been used time and time again to achieve piece, a parlay, or a truce in times of war.

Divine Voice

Often mistaken for clerics and priests, Divine Voice is aimed as a highest praise for the highest ranking mages of Arcana Ebrietas. Wizards who might spend days or weeks in preparing the perfect outfit and speech to impress an entire nation with their manners. Divine Voices rarely speak words that are not filled with wisdom or carefully thought-out allegories. On rare occasions when stubborn warlords deny to meet each other in the grounds of Arc Ebrietas, but their people cry out in pain, a Divine Voice might embark themselves to direct a meeting with these warlords to best achieve peace.

Golden Voice, Lying Mages[mockery]

Often hired for more common purposes, Golden Voices are mages for hire who often work in court of kings or as salesmen in some of the busiest commercial districts the world has to offer. Rarely relying on their magic when they are not certain they can get away with it, a Golden Voice might be paid to lead influential customers inside certain businesses or to lead a peace parlay in favor of a certain realm. As such, they are often master deceivers with not only a skillset suitable for a diplomat, but one for hiding ones true intentions as well.

Silver Voice

Higher-rated students inside of Arcana Ebrietas receive the honor of being called Silver Voices by the common people. While not as dubious towards them than to their higher kin, Silver Voices live in a constant world of pulling temptations all around them. Very rarely a Silver Voice graduates to a Golden Voice, because most often they give in to a world of temptation. With so many skills to maniplate the people around them, Silver Voice students constantly disappear, are on a prolonged hiatus, or are found in the backpocket of a criminal organisation. While on duty, their tasks most often include acting as chairmen and women towards public forums to make it certain that everyone has their turn to speak and that everyone is heard and to lead the conversations in a constructive manner.

Copper Voice

New students to Arcana Ebrietas are common, but still nearly hand-picked by the academy. As an academy most focused around manipulation, Arcana Ebrietas has had its own difficulties in finding proper recruiting implements and tests to seek out those who possess true wisdom in their soul. Aware of its unstable reputation and the amount of harm a single experienced wizard of their academy can achieve, Arcana Ebrietas struggles with those who nearly surpass their masters in the art of deception. Copper Voices are most often seen inside the academy or fetching resources for the other voices. As of late, Copper Voices are also being taught more history and philosophy to understand their rising powers even better.
