Ostensibly a union of magical disciplines from across Tera, it is secretive and often incomprehensible motives brand it a perfect organization for the elves who champion it.
The spiritual successor to the Holy Empire's Council of Magic, members of the Mysterium can be found in any place of “ancient” power, in every major city of the federation, walking alongside dusty desert roads, and wherever they are least expected. They seek to understand, not control, though they are the first to act when one of their “own” uses magic for some nefarious purpose.
What does the Mysterium seek?
Only the members truly know this answer. The organization began as a university, a school, of magics with a pointed interest in the Arcane. Over the ages, the institution founded and evolved by the Elves has become one of research, investigation, experimentation, and dominance in all areas of magic. They have also taken an interest in the powers of the world such as gods and demigods, magical creations, and aberrations twisted by natural and unnatural forces.
Yet no matter the aspects of religious intent, they view these beings as nothing more than magical, arcanists that have evolved or traveled worlds.
Who joins the Mysterium?
Elves, now the High Elves, have ruled this magical school. When joining the Valkyon Federation, they have finally opened their doors to other arcanits, mages, sorcerors, and will workers from other disciplines and races.
Typically, only the magical join the Mysterium. These include sorcerers mainly. Sometimes mystics and priests. Any other classes may be associated, but rarely ever true members.
