The College of Winter’s Edge is a long-standing College that exists at the foot of The Winter Mountains. Existing within its own micro-community, the hierarchy of the College are very mysterious and reserved, keeping their knowledge secret to only those willing to learn. The College stands above the main College town, with perfect views out over the Winter Mountains. The College mainly teaches Illusion, Conjuration and Transmutation as it’s magical disciplines whilst also teaching History, of both Arcane arts and pivotal historical events.

Study at the college can take a number of years. After 15 years, students are recognized as being trained in their respective field. Usually after this time, students choose to leave the college to join a Kingdom’s Magic Guild or to become apprentices. If people choose to stay and pursue more knowledge, they can do a further 15 years to become masters in their specific discipline. Masters can choose to become teachers themselves or create their own magical guilds. The Head’s of the College also allow students to pioneer research away from the college, gathering knowledge for the college or spreading word of its presence.

The College library contains a great number of historical tomes and minor theoretical magical studies, most of which are available for public use. However, more specialised magical books, books of great power and forbidden tomes that contain knowledge of areas and items of great power are locked away in the lower library, often referred to as the Tomb of Knowledge, due to all the knowledge that has been left down there to die due to such tight access. Gaining access to this area takes both 15 years of study and blessing from one of the Professors.
