Praecan

Located in the center of Ekavaria, Praecan is the only major city in Ekavaria  without a dedicated school of magic. Instead, Praecan is represents the general practice of magic, with followers of all schools congregating here. The high mages here report directly to the Grand Archmage, who decides on major problems for the city by him self. The council meets here twice a year to determine matters of policy for the entire country. In certain emergencies the council might meet outside of these times.
Praecan's biggest attraction is the market of artifacts, the largest single market for the buying and selling of magic items in the entirety of the maw, and some theorize even the entire world. On the outskirts of the market one can find kiosks selling magical trinkets and baubles with minor effects, such making the air clean around its user, or producing a small amount of smoke. Moving further in one will find merchants set up with permanent stalls selling magically enhanced weapons, staves, and wondrous items with rare effects. At the center lies the artifact hall, where unique objects of power are auctioned off to the highest bidder
Those who come to Praecan are either high mages in training, merchants looking to buy and sell magic items, and travelers looking for interesting experiences. Praecan is filled strange and interesting attractions, which is enough to motivate many to journey there. High mages are expected to be at least moderately versed in all schools of magic, and the high mages with jurisdiction here are often the most experienced of their kind, making Praecan a perfect place for those with political ambitions to learn.
