Errista

Ruler:
Errista is ruled by the Council of Mages, with Vaklan Cerdash being the current head of the council, and Archmage of the Tower Eternal where the Council presides. Vaklan is a kindly Red Dragonborn, always willing to provide wisdom to any who will listen. The Council spends most of its time governing over the use of Magic in the world, but has plenty of underlings to help govern the continent.

Geography:
Errista boasts a mild climate, with plenty of forest fertile land to provide food for its people. The soaring Tower Eternal is the largest landmark on the continent. The two large colleges of magic, the Argoth Academy, and the Dizon Institute are equal in splendor.



History:
Before the dust had settled after the Fracturing, the world blamed magic for their woes. The hatred for Mages took centuries to overcome. And even now, there are parts of the world where Mages are reluctant to show grand displays of power. Errista was founded as a haven for magic users, and yet used the Fracturing as a cautionary tale. Colleges were established to properly train and watch over anyone wanting to learn the arcane.

However, the exodus of magic users attracted other groups that the original leaders hadn't anticipated on. The most devout of religions built temples and cathedrals on Errista as well. They sought a place to strengthen their ranks of Clerics in peace. The factions of the Arcane and the Faith have never fully seen eye to eye. And to that extent, The Council of Mages has allowed the Faith to remain in force on Errista under a mutual understanding that neither group interferes in the other's affairs; even going so far as to commissioning two separate Orders of Valor factions.
