Sages, the Seer and the Wardens of the Northern province.


    The Sages Guild as it is called by the common people of the King's land, are actually, Factia Mages of the School of Divination.  They maintain a center of power in addition to the School at the Hidden Tower in the Fallen City of Freewinds.  It is called the Gray Heart Observatory and has offices in all of the remaining cities of the peopled lands.  The actual observatory exists in an unknown location but is believed to be an Old Western city far to the west high in mountain ranges not yet visited by the new men.

    Once led by Obend Fouge for close to 1,900 years, at his death, they are now more of a function of the will of King John, than an Independent Facta.  The Gray Heart seems to further John's will in all things.

    Airlorn, the Primerium of the Facta now that Obend Fouge is dead, was raised in the court of King John, and was once a simple guard of the Blue tower.  Under his guidance, almost every body of armed men of the kingdom has at the very least a Sage attached to it that is capable of rudimentary martial feats.

 
    Leriman – A person hoping to be intuited into the Factia of Divination.  Also a Kingdom Office akin to an administrator.  

    There are Lerimen of the Gray Heart that work the Docks in Brighton, directing captains, recording goods brought in and leaving the port, and taking news.  They are scribes, copy books and are hireable to perform record keeping of almost any kind.  They are intelligent, are fluent in several languages, can read and write in at least three languages, and are great organizers.
    Scholar – A Factia Diviner of 1st to 3rd level.  Also an Kingdom office akin to, researcher, teacher, Police Officer.

    Scolar's make up the bulk of the Sages Guild.  They read coins, they investigate acts of evil, they are cast a majority of the spells used by the guild.  They train Agents and even sages in areas of Expertise.  Many do not go on to become sages.  Many spend their time in the School and at the Observatory.  All Guard Outfits have at least one Leriman attached to it.  

    Sage – a Factia Diviner of greater than 3rd level.  Also an office akin to, detective and judge combined.
Sages are powerful Divinors and responsible for a great deal in the Northern Province as well as the world abroad.  They work with the Wardens all over the known realms.  They fight with the Kings Army in the South, they administer the lands of the Kingdom with the help of the Guardsmen.  There are several dozen sages in the Northern Province, with eight in Brighton alone.

    Seer – A Factia Diviner of Name level.  Also an office within the Kingdom responsible for high level judicial and administrative tasks.  

    The Northern Province has several seers.  One serves the Provent near the Quarry.  Two are located in Brighton, one in Bricking, and another 8 or so spread about the Province in various capacities, including the East Gate.     

    Provent - A Factia Diviner of Singular Intelligence, independent of the power structure other than they are guides of policy.  There are rumored to be three in the Northern Province, though only the Provent at the Quarry is familiar to people.  She spends her time exploring the ruins of Ovardiis' great tower.

    Primerium – The Leader of the Divination Factia.  Primerium Airlorn lives and works by King John's side, far to the south in Kias.
