Order of the Obsidian Tower

The Order of the Obsidian Tower is a large, guild- like organization dedicated to the common good of wizards and sorcerers. It is based in Spÿre but operates throughout Ambia and the North Realms, and has a minor presence in Calythir. At one time, the Tower (as it is commonly known) encompassed the Emerald Coast as well; that area is now served by the Ilmaran Thaumaturgical Society.

The Tower emphasizes research and study, with many members dedicating their life’s work to the development of new spells, rituals, and similar activities. This contrasts greatly with the Society, which believes that magic is useless if it is not used and applied on a regular basis.
