Mages on the continent of Antaria are segregated into seven different classes, each with its own type of magic and its own independent philosophy on how the world works. The many alliances and vendettas between each organization, naturally, are tenuous at best.
Galenics - Healing, purification and protection magics. The Galenics are a quasi-religious order, popular among the people for the services that they provide. They hold a great deal of social and political influence, and have become somewhat elitist as a result.
Masquers - Illusion, enchantment and mind magics. The Masquers are the youngest of the seven classes, and maintain great stores of clandestine information on anyone and everyone. They are invariably mistrusted and rarely understood.
Metrians - Force, weather and teleportation magics. The Metrians have the most powerful war magics at their disposal, yet far from using them in combat, they choose to delve into study as scholars instead. Seen as bookish and reclusive, the Metrians do not choose to correct this assumption.
Druids - Nature, growth and survival magics. The Druids are a militant lot, making their homes in the natural environment and eschewing complex advancement. They are often seen as feral, brash, and downright difficult to reason with.
Tempestites - Craft, conjuration and familiarship magics. The Tempestites are best known for the elemental familiars that they command as bodyguards and servants. Tempestites are an arrogant lot, given to various wants of wealth, power and authority.
Shamans - Strength, enhancement and endurance magics. The Shamans are an enigmatic tribespeople who dwell in the harsh southern wastes. Though some consider then exotic, others consider them to be a primitive people, naive in modern ways and means.
Thanatai - Body, death and divination magics. The Thanatai are brooding, methodical necromancers who tend to be reviled by the general public. They have a very practical outlook on both life and death, in light of the persecution that they tend to face.
