College of Esoteric Arts

"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."

The College of Esoteric Arts is the wing of the Circle dedicated to the gathering of knowledge, the collecting of artifacts, and the subterfuge necessary to quietly fight the magical enemies of the Alliance. Led by the High Scribe, they make sure all Magi are properly trained in the Art, being a place for new and old to progress to heights that many would not have thought were possible. The College learns the secret mysteries of the Great Ocean of the Arcane, and the Knights will turn those secrets into weapons that shall defeat the enemies of the Alliance.

It is said that the halls of the College are ever changing, that new rooms appear at the will of the High Scribe and its libraries are full of tomes that even the most ancient of Magi are not aware of. It is a place of learning, a place of secrecy, and most importantly… the headquarters of the High Scribe’s vast magical operations that stretch from continent to continent, with its agents tracking down artifacts and lore that cannot be allowed to fall into the wrong hands.

Divisions of the College
The College, in its past was full of many different groups, and at times when the Circle was much larger than it was now, it was a byzantine structure of different offices that always found themselves nearly coming to blows with each other. Since High Scribe Dor’lossath has taken his place at the head of the College, he has begun an arduous quest to simplify the inner workings of the order, as the incredible amount of offices and divisions made his head spin.

The newly reformed College has three divisions.

Ordo Antiquorum
There are many items of power to be found across azeroth and the beyond, the tools and weapons of the arcane can be used for both wondrous effect and great destruction. It is the Order of Antiquities who sees to the creation, collection and - sometimes - the destruction of these magical items.

Ordo Caeleste
The Diviners. This was a personal project of Andisarth’s, and something that was employed by him and the other rulers of the Imperial Province of Moonsong millenia ago. The celestial order deals in matters of the heavens, scrying of the stars and divining the matters of space and space. It is the celestial order who meet together and ponder the things that are, the things were and the things that are yet to come.

Ordo Arcana
Held deep within their cloistered halls, the Order of the Arcane employ their skills to the research of the infinite mysteries of the great sea of magic, pouring themselves over their books and tomes. It is they that see to the cataloguing, research and organising of arcane magic in all it’s forms… and the perfection of them.
