Mage Covens

Because of Dogane's growing and sometimes aggressive opposition to magic, many magic users who refused to be taken in by the Institute fled the country. Outside of Dogane - colloquially called the Wilds - depending on their type of magic, mages can join the various covens and live freely. Many of the covens are nomadic, but some have their own settlements.

The nomadic covens are generally comprised of people from Dogane escaping the Institute. They only wish to be left alone and live peacefully outside the country. One coven that practices black magic makes its home in Etera, another in Dragonblight. White magic users can be found in Inon. Occasionally, people from covens are taken back into Dogane and kept at the Institute.

Settlements are comprised of people who have faith in the dragons, choosing to worship and hone their magic in the eyes of their god. These settlements can be found on the island Noors and in the provinces of Krumult, Anid, and Tauth. In these settlements, not everyone is required to be magical. The requirement is the dedication to that particular dragon.
