OOC: We are mostly drama free. Hence why we exclude politcs and intrigue for example. We prefer relaxed and fun and productive RP without ongoing interruptions from other guilds. Better a small but sucessful group, than a big one where nothing happens but drama and fighting each other.
Our goal is to offer a kind of hub for arcana spellcasters, that don't worship Mystra directly, but also don't oppose her. We are a group of players who like RP around magic and love Mystra. But we also wish to be open to other religions and form alliances with other groups.
