Non-Drow and the Schools of Magic of Sshamath

[Max Hatchet]

The important part of that is the bit saying that non-citizens, (a.k.a the non-drow free races), can enter the Schools. Off topic, I highly doubt a non-citizen in this sense will ever become a full citizen.

What's your basis for 'highly doubting'? Are you aware of the Conclave's actual rules and policy on citizenship?

No idea about rules but this is taken from the Lore: Everything about Sshamath topic, in the Non-citizens: Inhabitants and Slaves section:

Races capable of wizardry who reach Sshamath of their own accord as free-willed beings have the right to remain within the city for as long as they obey its laws and conduct ongoing business with residents. Actual citizenship is never granted to nondrow, though permanent residency is allowed so long as business is conducted as mentioned above.

So what I read out of the statements since mine is that I -could- theoretically work with/for a school as a surfacer that semi-migrated down, but never achieve a rank beyond, say Associate Necromancer in the school of Necromancy. is that the correct gist of it?
Granted, I doubt I would be liked by anyone even remotely still, given the surfacer-complexion and sensibilities, but I'd like to know 100%

Hello Korchas,

I had asked my guys from the School of Necromancy and gotten the answer that you could theoretically learn at the School with the condition to do it all by yourself (noone actually teaching you).

Now I am not sure which rank you could reach, considering there would need to be someone taking care of your promotions it might be that you couldn't even get higher than student but maybe the others can chime in here

Cheers K'yon

To join the School of Necromancy is to join the military which is only for drow and maybe half drow. You could use the School's facilities for learning though (the self studying thing) and anyone helping would do so because they felt like it. You would basically just be registered as a regular user/visitor but would have no rank or progression to achieve because you are not apart of the military side of the School which is its primary function. Not even the lower ranking members get taught anything and also have to self study to prove they can handle necromancy without getting themselves killed before they can take classes because being an actual school is the last thing on the priority list. You prove you can handle the basics and then can take classes for more advanced stuff.

For visitors though, you are allowed because the School of Necromancy is very controlling about the art in order to help defend the city, so anyone not following the rules on its use runs the risk of being targeted and killed by the School to maintain the safety of the city. Follow the rules and study at the school (if you have no where else to do it) and you are safe.

Thank you for the clarification! That answers any questions I may have had regarding it. =)
So at least I can try to study there if the surface gets too grumpy with me.
At least as long as I can stand the constant sass from Drow and the rules.

I cant get in game still yet, should be able to soonish after my stuff from my move arrives. If you do decide to study at the School it could potentially be a good thing...

Could do forum rp over it, but its one of those where its nearly pointless after a bit if I cant get in game

[K'yon Oblodra]

I could offer some rp in game.

Actually have already to some extend.

So if you want me to relay some RP I can do that or just do some of my entirely.

Yes thats the rules. I was wondering if those rules have ever been broken by someone, either in server lore of FR lore.
