Wizards Concillium LARP/LRP Faction
The Teaching Faculty
The majority of Concillium members have little to no interest in pursuing activities outside of the Tower itself. Inside is warm, there is a ready supply of tea and crumpets and a Wizard can pursue his studies into magical theory without threat of violence, discomfort or having to actually prove that it works.
In order to have some presence outside of the Tower the mysterious inner circle of the Concillium tower gathered together the keenest, most expendable individuals they could find hanging around the staff room and booted them unceremoniously from the Tower with instructions to find out what they can and not to come back until they prove that magic has returned.
These happy misfits are somewhat out of their element. Almost without exception they have received no training with weapons, have no experience in survival that did not include five square meals a day and a constant supply of tea and biccies. Alone, with the exception of those few maids, tea ladies and students they could convince to accompany them, they may be the best hope for bringing magic back to the world.
Under the leadership of the Archchancellor, “ably” assisted by Professor Whitestaple, the Teaching Faculty have adapted to their new lives in the wilderness, returning to the Tower for only 13 weeks of the year in order to resupply and do their marking. They are an amicable bunch, treating those they meet with complete honesty, and the offer of a nice cup of tea. They tend to avoid the cloak and dagger politics in which other faction often engage, preferring open discourse over a nice cuppa instead, since “it’s a lot less effort and lying just gives you more to remember”.
The Faculty have been said to be able to perform magic but those who have had the privilege of seeing them in action have reported that the “spells” they perform can take upwards of 2 hours and seldom, if ever, have any noticeable effect. That being said source close to the faculty have been heard to state that they will be making a breakthrough “any week now”.
What is known is that the Faculty are obsessed with gathering and cataloguing magical lore of all kinds. From dusty old tomes, to pre-war relics there is nothing that can get a Wizard to wake up from their afternoon nap quicker than the appearance of new arcane knowledge.
