Coven of the Silver Star

The Coven of the Silver Star is a guild of magic users, from across the entire spectrum. It began as a simple group of like minded wizards, who wished to learn more about the world of magic. Since its humble beginnings, it has grown into the world's premiere group of spellcasters, encompassing all schools, traditions, and flavors of magic. Knowledge is king, and the Coven is its advisor.

The Coven is worldwide, and holds no allegiance to any particular nation, but their headquarters is located within the Empire city of Badenport, and as such tends to have a bend towards Empire preference.

The Coven is divided into Families, who each represent a major tradition of spellcasting. The School represents the Arcane casters, and is primarily occupied by wizards. The Chantry represents Divine spellcasters, it mostly consists of oracles and clerics who have a more esoteric bend. It also is a safe haven for worship of banned deities. The Symposium represents Occult spellcasters, and is mostly populated by bards and witches, but also boasts a large contingency of sorcerers. Finally, the Grove represents those who cast Primal spells, and is almost entirely populated by Druids of various types.

Sorcerers are a special case to the Coven. While most spellcasters are able to grow in their power through study and worship, sorcerers rarely find any growth in their abilities partaking in such activities. Rather, the Coven has created sub-Families that operate much like monasteries for the purpose of engaging with the magic within the individual through self discovery and meditation.
