The Triad



The Triad serves as the ultimate authority on magi everywhere. While many a magic users wishes to perceive themselves as free of the rulings of any body, at some point, somewhere, at some time, they have been directly affected by the Triad's decisions.

Back when the church was still gaining influence, Arcane magic was seen as a direct threat to stability due to its power. Despite Cara's influence over it, many officials had sought to put an end to Arcane magic, and in many cases Shamanistic and Sexual magic as well. Due to growing vitriol and opposition created by the Church's propaganda, the House of The Triad (later simply "The Triad" was formed.

Role
The Triad plays a crucial role in society. Under the supervision of various councils of ever increasing rank, they are seen as an unofficial check and balance to the Church. One will find many an orthodox follower of Cara or Myn within the walls of the Church, but it is within The Triad that their true numbers are revealed.

The Triad functions as a private organization keen on preserving knowledge of magic, acting as a militia and mercenary group, and ensuring the bettterment of the mortal races. As one of the few organizations to span as far of a distance (and to have just as many members) as the church, they are generally left alone in order to preserve relations. Still, there have been occasions when the Church has asked for their help and vice versa, and the two hire each other's services regularly.

The Triad is mostly composed of Wizards due to its organized structure, though Shaman have been known to join as representatives. Witches join often enough to learn the basics of their trade, but many end up leaving afterwards, or after locating a master within the Triad to teach them.
