The Spellblades are a mystical, mysterious Order that has been with the Three Kings since they formed New Avalon. Called Mages by the uneducated masses, they focus on transit and transportation in the city, and are the only ones authorized to create roads, highways, and teleportation Nexi.
To join, you must either be seleted by one of the Three Kings, or be seleted by a Spellweaver or the Archmage himself. After you are selected, you will be given a task, and upon completion you will be inducted in the Spellblade Order, and required to abandon any old home you might have and live within the Academy itself.
Within the Academy there is several levels, each going deeper underground. The levels are listed below for hand reference.
The Spelltower is a private residence of all Spellweavers and the Archmage himself. It is forbidden to all those of lower rank to enter.
Ground Level: Open to all. Public area.
1st level is the Training Arena. Open to Apprentices and better.
2nd Level is the Residential Area. Open to Apprentices and better.
