School of Tides
The School of Tides traditionally studies the magic of water, and Gravelight - the art of directing the moon's arcane light into baleful, searing energy. It is one of three Schools of Magic that existed in the Tiers at the time of Kyros' invasion.
History
For centuries the School of Tides was one of the most powerful groups of mages in the Tiers. Tidecasters have spells that directly affect water, as well as spells that direct the push and pull of Terratus' moons, or that gather the rays of the moon Terratus Grave into searing light. Despite their arsenal magics, the School was long devoted to protecting sea traffic and fostering the arts. These actions made them a bit more tolerated than other mage schools in the Tiers - most notably in Haven, where the School had its once-great academy. Shortly before Imperial troops came south, the School's founder - Occulted Jade, Archon of Tides, vanished across the ocean - fleeing Kyros' advance and taking most of her disciples with her across the sea - never to be heard from again.
Disbandment
Most of the School fled across the ocean to never be heard from again. Of the four Tidecasters who remained behind, three were killed at the battle for the Gates of Judgment.
