 * hasDescription=For centuries, magic users who wanted to concentrate on their studies and pursue higher magical skills went into exile on the Isle of Enlightment. They were attracted by the Astral Flux, a mystical phenomenon that brings magical energy and scattered pieces of arcane knowledge into the world. Led by their common goals and values, the Magi soon formed a formal union. The democratic and sublime Union of the Free Magi was born. Devoted to unraveling the mysteries of the universe, the Union focused all its efforts on magical, scientific, and technical research. The Magi rely mostly on the might of their spells and advanced devices. They continue seeking the secret meaning of all things, while safeguarding their precious books and manuscripts from evil or wrongful intentions.

Hierarchy
The Union is a highly democratic society with flat hierarchical structure. All the Magi are divided into clusters according to their interests.


 * '''The Archont Council – wise group of Magi Archonts, chosen democratically by the citizens of the Union. They are supposed to be the brightest and most gifted of the Magi. The Council bears the responsibility of making decisions on the most important topics – magic development, research and analysis. The Archonts’ word is final on all matters.
