The Empiric Council

To the far north of Tellaria lies a small chain of frozen islands. On one of these islands lies an ancient castle, long abandoned by its former inhabitants. The Empiric Council, a gathering of spellcasters and scientists cast out from society have taken up residence there.

Deep within the old walls of the fort gruesome experiments are performed, often resulting in numerous deaths and lost souls. The members of the Empiric Council are often ruthless in their search for knowledge and refuse to bow down to lesser beings.

The council is currently led by an ancient Beholder named Khazzar, who under mysterious circumstances obtained the means to cast magic.
