jan 1, 500 - Amethyst Academy Founded

Description:

Following a century of persecution, a group of
surviving mages form the Amethyst Academy as a secret society to protect themselves.

Many founding members of the Amethyst Academy were descended from former vassals of the sorcerer-kings. They preserved the vast magical lore once sequestered for the mighty rulers alone. The sorcerer-kings had been raw talents, who had suppressed the study of magic for fear others would rise against them, preferring to keep power solely in their bloodlines. This knowledge could now be developed and studied within the Amethyst Academy. Other founding members were the elves, who brought their ancient and hitherto unknown arts. Thus, the Amethyst Academy would be the cradle in which the arcane practice of wizardry was born.
