The Symposium

Within the Symposium, those indoctrinated as a hearthchild was given intense tutelage and lodging after determining which of the three branches they showed the most affinity towards. The brightest would be sent to the Seekers, the boldest would be sent to the Wardens, and the most empathetic would be sent to the Conservators. Each branch served a different purpose for the Symposium. The Seekers had the most privilege as their mission was to unravel new spells from the webs of the arcane mysteries. The Wardens sought to enforce the will of the Symposium in addition to protecting the college and all that is within it. Wardens also served as a military force in case of invasion. Lastly, Conservators were tasked with the supplying of the entire city of Emberstone. Conservators work day and night to produce as much food and water as possible for the masses. However, few know that the nobility always have first priority in this endeavor and a healthy black market grows around the base of Red Hill selling illicit conjured items. The rank of each individual symposium member is determined by the gem their necklace is embedded with.
