The Free Cities of Mages
The Free Cities of Mages are a confederation of seven magocratic city-states operate independently from the warring and quarreling nations of the world. It behaves as a haven for education and magic, lead by the great Archmages and the Mage King. The Free Cities often get mingled in the politics of the other nations when it suits there interests, which can range from the acquisition or safety of a magical artifact to the protection of their citizens or secrets.
The Free Cities are one of the most powerful forces in all of Vaotania, and on the surface, they seem unified and peaceful, but once one becomes involved in the inner workers there are many factions warring for control of the massive power that the Free Cities posses. This has been bared to the outside world in recent years, leading many powerful people and nations to now scheme against what until now had seemed invincible.

Structure
The Free Cities of Mages are organized into seven parts, six have equal power, and one, the Crystalline City of Magnus, is the capital and is the seat of all primary government functions. Each city houses an Archmage that watches over and makes the majority of the decisions and a court of four more Archmages that deal with all judicial functions. At the head, there is a Mage King who may take power in times of need, but the position is more of a figurehead than one of political power.
