The chief priority of these powerful arcane specialists is to maintain the “Truth of Magic,” a strict code enacted to never again allow the rampant misuse of magic seen in the Age of Heroes. General members are referred to as “Guides,” while the higher circle of members who deal in judgment and oversight are called “Makers.” At least one member is established at each place of arcane learning. Membership is largely kept secret unless out of necessity, though the existence of the order is relatively common knowledge. Anyone found to be practicing magic is logged and checked up on routinely, as misuse of magic is grounds for arrest, judgment by the Makers, and punishment outside of the local law. Even so, their reach and oversight are not without limits, and many dark and terrible dealings manage to go unseen by the Arcana Pansophical.

The Arcana Pansophical is respected, if somewhat feared, in most human settlements. Ryngorn and other elven communities see the Pansophical as allies, as the roots of the society began with Yurek within Ryngorn itself. Karghammer only respects members that are dwarves, and treat the rest with mistrust.

Enchanter Yurek Windkeeper

Maker, Elf Wizard (Enchanter). Founder of the Arcana Pansophical, Yurek generally stays within Ryngorn as the nexus of the order, acting as consultant to the Wardens of Ryngorn.

Alchemist Oz Gruude

Maker, Halfling Alchemist. A rather ornery halfling, Gruude’s interests lie in refining the latent magical elements in the “dormant” world, traveling often to continue his research.

Seer Gloria Ios

Maker, Human Wizard (Diviner). One of the great oracles of divination, her visions have sent her to Caldron and the Ostanzian Empire, acting as a reaching arm of the organization.

Magus Seanor Wiles

Maker, Human Mage Tutor Extraordinaire. A humble-looking traveler, his specialty is finding fresh and emerging talent and helping them refine their arcane gifts.

Planerider Ryn

Maker, Tiefling Planar Studies Specialist. A keen student to Yurek who has grown into a master of planar travel and arcane ley line patterns, Ryn is still mid-study, often darting between realms to complete her research.

Tinkerer Quash Dentdruggle

Guide, Gnome Construct Specialist. Obsessed with the development of autonomous and living arcane constructs, he is holed up in his laboratory within Karghammer.

Arcanist Tese Velret

Guide, Human Wizard (Abjurer). Member of the Tal’Dorei Council and retired adventurer, Tese has helped maintain the political significance of the Arcana Pansophical within Ayton.

Elementalist Drake Thunderbrand

Guide, Dwarf Wizard (Evoker). Driven to bind the physical elements of the chaotic planes to his will, Drake is a prodigy of new incantations in the field.

Realmseer Eskil Ryndarien

Former Member, Human Archmage. A Maker for most of his life, he grew frustrated with the politics and limitations of the order and retired to Westruun to pursue his own interests.
