General Description

The Council of Arcane Law is charged with regulating magical training. The Council monitors who is allowed to train in the magical arts, what enchanted objects are created, what new spells can be researched and things of that nature. The Council's primary duty is to control all magic within the Aukarian Republic and make sure that no Aukarian wizard ever is allowed to amass power and become a power hungry dictator. Aukaria can not afford another Sorcerer King.

History

This group was formed as a direct response to the Sorcerer King's rules and subsequent coup that overthrew him. The Republic vowed never to let any such evil force rise to power again. It was formed in 2392 CY, within just 2 years of the Republic reforming after the Sorcerer King's reign had ended.

Goals and Motivation

The Council of Arcane Law is charged with

regulating magical training - who gets trained and who doesn't
running the magical academies
tracking the location and activities of high level spell casters
monitoring magical energies and spells cast in the region
tracking the creation, destruction and use of magic items
monitoring the activities of the Sorcerer King and preventing his activities from harming the Republic

Allies and Enemies

The Sorcerer King is the very reason for this office to exist. Therefore, this organization is directly opposed to that dread lord and his minions. Beyond this, the Council opposes any high level magic user that does not register with them and stays in the Republic. Any wizard in the Republic for an extended period of time MUST register with the Council. Any wizard who refuses is an enemy of the state and a criminal..

Membership

Membership is granted by the Senate. Political officers, administrators and wizards are appointed to their positions based on skills, temperament and loyalty to the Senate. Many hundreds of wizards and government officials apply to the Council every year.

Oaths and Codes

None
