The Guardians of Tethra - garnex/faro GitHub Wiki

A low mage order of arcane magic users, scribes and those with arcane knowledge. They were originally formed after the first fiend invasion and were responsible for determining the origin of the fiends and destroying the portal that brought them into Faro.

They are unrepresented in many cities, especially villages and small towns but hold great authority over the use of arcane magic throughout the realm. The guardians consist of a console of arcane masters who advice inquisitors and low mages on the proper and safe use of magic.

The inquisitors search out rogue mages who refuse to follow the practices of the Guardians in the realms and dispense justice to those who refuse to follow the rules of the low mages. They have broad authority in most cities as the fear of high mage magic is palpable enough to allow near unrestricted access and authority.
