The Feyvault

The Feyvault is the world's most prominent mage guild. It has locations in Siforan, Katelonia, and Frostmarch. Although the respective branches obey the lawns of the countries they're in, they are legally an independent entity from all of them. The Feyvault is not the sole mage guild, as many exist with the respective countries independent of the Feyvault, however the vast store of knowledge and access to magic means that it is an entity that both the country officials and the smaller guilds occasionally exchange and interact with. The Feyvault has established treaties with the governments to maintain it's independence, often by trading information and resources. Any sorcerer or wizard worth their salt likely has connections to The Feyvault. Farryn Windspeaker, a very powerful mage known throughout the region is technically a member.

The Feyvault, per its manifesto, claims political neutrality, but public suspicion and conspiracy theorists are abound, assuming that such a powerful entity meddles in affairs all the time. Their primary purpose, however, is to uncover the mystery of what happened to the empire that lays beneath The Beastwood. Most lower-ranked members of the guild are only vageuly aware of that interest. The high-ranked members are more active in that pursuit, working on different parts of the long-term investigation. The Feyvault is one of the primary benefactors and sponsors of expeditions into The Beastwood.
