Magic

Even though magic is seen a blessing by the Maker, the few people that actually shows magical traits aren't fortunate. The problem is that their bodies hasn't evolved and thus they become sick. To this day their bodies haven't evolved enough to cope with the magic, which makes every mage deathly ill. The sickness is the reason for the founding of the College - a place meant as a way to control the sickness and hopefully one day be able to find a cure.

The Mages' College and Mages
There only exists one Mages' Collage in every kingdom, located outside, but not in direct vincinity, of the capital. The College is lead by the Archmage, which is responsible for every desicion that affects the mages. Since being a mage is concidered a privilage, they have high positions in politics, medicin and research, although they nearly never leaves the College.

The Praetorians
The Praetorians is an order that serves as a sort of guards for the Mages' College. They were founded around the same time as the College, since the mages needed help guarding both the College as well as the Magnum. They also serves as intermediaries between the College and the outside world - like trading. People outside the College has a tendency to forget that even though the Praetorians rarely get into fights, they are fierce warriors and master tactitians with a deep sense of honor and duty.
