Field School of Magic

Posted on June 6, 2013

Here’s another snippet from the Guide I think people would find useful:

The Field School of Magic consists of six priestly/magical units, each with some 200 Lunar priests, sorcerers, and shamans from the University of the Seven Phases in Glamour. The purpose of the Field School is to serve the Red Goddess by serving the Lunar army. They also oversee coordination of other cults (except the war gods) with the Lunar army. These units are currently assigned to the Army of Dragon Pass, with the Field Headquarters leading and training to make them work as a single unit. These units supply power to Tatius the Bright and his companions to perform magic of awesome power.
The Field School is divided into four Minor Class units and two Major Class units. Minor Class units provide as many squads of flexible Lunar magicians as possible. Each squad is organized so that its members collectively master the Seven Phases of the Moon. The members of a Minor Class Unit all dress alike.

Major Class units are composed of illuminated Lunar magicians, each trained to master at least six of the seven phases.

The Field School of Magic is protected by two regiments of University Guards. They worship Yanafal Tarnils and are sworn to defend their magicians to the death. Sometimes the magicians have to be quite close to the fighting, and since they are likely to be involved in otherworldly activity and utterly helpless in the mundane world, they are very dependent upon their guards for defense. As a result, the University Guards are beloved by the Field School magicians and a part of the Field School’s magic is always given to their Guards.
