The Court of Wands

Called also: the Court of Fire, Home of Magic
If you wish to learn, whether of the world around you, the secrets of magic or simply of who you truly are, the Court of Wands is the place to do so. The finest Universities and schools can be found in the hot climes of the west, where desert winds blow through the olive groves. Cities of ancient lineage are built here, many upon ancient tribal sites, and the Court is a place where curiosity - whether of the past, the present or what is to come, is rewarded. The Court of Wands is home to the largest metropolis in all the Courts - the City of Brass, a magnificent city where anything one desires can be found (and where one can be whoever they desire). Travelling wizards come here to learn at the Library, and scholars, priests and thrill-seekers all make a pilgrimage to the great city at least once in their lives. Little more can match the splendor of this place, nor the legendary beauty of its King, the wisdom of its Queen or the fierce love between the Page and Knight of the place - all of whom were granted immortality by the spirits of heaven and have reigned over the place for a thousand years. The Court of Wands is, as her element, a land of eternal change. The literal landscape shifting with the desert as, over the years, cities are swallowed up by sand and others discovered beneath it. The metaphorical, as well - social convention is known to shift quickly here and what might be in fashion today is uncouth tomorrow. The people of the Court of Wands are known to be impulsive and quick tempered, but their culture values loyalty and earnest discussion as well. There are some who say that the Mara dwell here, in the Court of Wands - that out in the desert they make their home, because the Court of Wands is not vigilant enough to keep them out. There are some, they say, who keep demons as servants or pets, that draw magic from the darkness beyond. Whether this is true, or simply the opinion of the uniformed, is something the Court of Wands continues to tease the world with, unafraid of their reputation.
