- The Imperial Colleges of Magic is an important and powerful Imperial institution who is given the task and responsibility for training all individuals who are capable of manipulating the Winds of Magic, and to be used in the service of the State and Military for the benefit of the Empire of Man. The Colleges was founded in 2304 IC under the permission of Magnus the Pious, the tutelage of Teclis, and his two Loremasters Finreir and Yrtle. The Imperial Colleges are all stationed in the capital city of Altdorf, the only place in the Empire that magic is in some form allowed. Each College has a distinctive building that fundamentally indicates their form of magic, such as the Bright Wizard College building which is a massive molten-breathing furnace where hot steam, smoke and fire can be commonly seen around the buildings exterior, whilst the Light College's building is a giant transparent pyramid of glowing light where an underground building, similar to the one above, holds the Old World's most potent and possibly very dangerous artifacts and weapons known to man. Most Colleges are concealed by the common eye by magical enchanments, while others such as the Gold College and Amethyst College openly show their buildings, discouraging any curious commoner from coming too close. Only wizards with a gifted mage-sight will be able to see through the vale that covers the exterior as even commoners living in the city would go by, day to day, through the streets, without having the faintness clue of the giant looming Colleges that towers over them. Nonetheless, these mighty individuals have proven time and again their dedication to their crafts and loyalty to their homeland, fighting valiantly against the dark forces that seeks to overcome them, both from within and without.
