Arcane Novumvirate

The Novumvirate is responsible for the coordination and use of Arcane practices and materials for the benefit of the Grand Accord. The Novumvirate is divided into 9 major groups known as Schools, with each School having a leader who is a member of the Novum or 'Nine'.

The Novumvirate is critical to both the civil and military operations of the Grand Accord, lending enormous power to the Polis and handing serious threats to the Accord and to the Bastions themselves. The Novumvirate are technically the original revolutionaries who enacted the Grand Accord, and many people suspect they still pull the strings of the Accord's political body.

The Novumvirate is often disliked by the general public of the Bastions because they are entrusted with finding and removing rogue mages like Chosen and Sorcerers from the public and placing them in special institutions, even at a very young age. While this is a safety measure in response to serious threats to the Bastion public, conspiracy theories abound as to what happens to children who defy the Novumvirate or are unable to harness their powers in a sufficiently useful way.

The Nine are remarkably reclusive figures whose bodies have been twisted beyond recognition by the forces of magic they wield. They are paranoid, reclusive and often fight amongst eachother for power and recognition.
