This letter would only be obtainable by current members of the Order of Magi. Any responses made by those outside of it who would not have access to such will be removed by an FM.

 

[!] Letters bearing the seal of the Order of Magi are sent out across the realm by courier and other means to find the current members [!]
 

"Greetings, esteemed member of the Order of Magi. The Council regrets to inform you of the loss of our Scholarch. Scholarch Ambros has retired as of Snow's Maiden, 1545 which left a void within our organization. Many joined because of this great wizard, but we urge those who did to stay within our ranks. With this loss, we also must look to our future and the direction of the Order as a whole.

 

Ambros had visions of grandeur, a world in which a magocracy could become established across the entire realm. This, in hindsight, is a goal which can not be accomplished. Instead, we have decided to turn our attention a more realistic goal. Progress and innovation. While during our initial start up period, our focus was on recruitment and making sure that our neophytes progressed into higher ranks upon finding suitable teachers to guide them. While we consider the teaching of a new generation of mages important and plan on focusing on this, we also need to ensure that we do not plateau. Therefore, emphasis on research will be one of our top priorities.

 

With that said, the following will and is currently being put into action. The current council will be downsized, as it is currently bloated. The current ranks of the mages will change to simply having a first and second order. The first order is comprised of Archmages, Adeptus Major and Minor, teachers and skilled mages. The archmage position is no different from the Adeptus Major position, aside from distinguishing who is at the top of their field. The second order has Neophytes and Practicus', those seeking to learn and those currently learning.

 

To the former members of the now defunct high council, you are welcome to see if you can join the current council. However, we seek those who are active and can actually accomplish their tasks as leaders. Many of the archmages failed in the former, hence this change being included in the reforms.

 

Thirdly, a new research sect will be created, made up of managers, researchers, and testers. Everyone part of the guild is automatically able to test research, but only those within the first order are capable of becoming researchers or research managers. There may be an exception to this, if the person shows a capability for the position. Finally, the Order of Magi will shift their main base to Sanctuary, while retaining the island previously purchased and the Caliphate guild hall. Both of the latter locations will be refitted for another use once that purpose has been decided. In return for housing our main base in Sanctuary, we will be given access to laboratories which are currently under construction which gives us more room in general.

 

Those already part of the Order and who have joined the Sanctuary branch will not have their ranked changed unless they were part of the third order. In which case, they will either be moved to the seeker position which means they have not learned anything or the student position once a teacher is found. Your membership is valued so this letter serves as a means to keep everyone in the loop. In order to keep track of those who are actively around, we advise that you reply to our letter with a response along the following: “I, (name), currently ranked as a (rank), hereby acknowledge the changes that the Order of Magi is undergoing." If you have any qualms, feel free to either add that in to the response or seek out Katari Stirling, Eliza, or Guarger."

 

[!] Each letter is signed by the following: 

- Katari Stirling

- Eliza

- Guarger

- Laethis Izalith

- Beltran

- Ceruberr

- Ayche Raven'kor

Ambros retired and we’re downsizing the council, creating a team for research rp, making our main base in sanctuary, and rearranging the ranks. Guild thread will be edited shortly once we find an FM to fix something.

Gus takes a deep breath as he sees the letter, his eyes worried. "That's a lot of words..." He starts to read.

A couple of hours later, he sets the letter aside, "Oh."

[Chamosial 379]

Illithri's eyes flick over the words once more after reading the letter multiple times, a slight frown marring her features, though, she would quickly grab a fresh piece of parchment and set it down upon the table, writing the response required.

 

"I, Illithri Rohkea, currently ranked as Adeptus Minor, hereby acknowledge the changes that the Order of Magi is undergoing."

The letter may return to the order, absent of any attachments. There was simply a short scribble at the bottom, followed by a signature.

"Okay." -Kuro Lyndelt

[Aelu / Rel (Combustionary) 1540]

“I, Ac'Aelu Tinuvial, currently ranked as Adeptus Major hereby acknowledge the changes that the Order of Magi is undergoing."

[Stag 3233]

“I, Iatrilemar Elervathar, currently ranked as Archmage of Arcanism, hereby acknowledge the changes that the Order of Magi is undergoing."

[ImCookiie 1950]

Quickly, a worn parchment would be written upon as Eloh'ra would maintain a disinterested gaze on the group that spoke with the Sanctuary's Guild Hall, her note left behind; - 

 

"I, Eloh'ra Rohkea, currently ranked as Adeptus Minor, hereby acknowledge the changes that the Order of Magi is undergoing."

Soon afterwards, a letter arrived at the order of similar fashion to the first. Though without the original document, for obvious reasons.
It read,
"I, Kuro Lyndelt, currently ranked as Adeptus Major, hereby acknowledge the changes that the Order of Magi is undergoing."

1 hour ago, The Order of Magi said:

Azel chuckles here. Hoping it were an actual pun.

"I Dorin Irongut, currently ranked Adeptus Major, acknowledge and welcome the changes the order of magi is undergoing."

[Runabarn 1028]

A letter written in purple ink and a scrawly manner would be sent.

 

"Alright. -Sal"
