The Amethyst Academy is a research institute, educational organization, and mage guild pursuing the arcane mysteries of delerium. The faction is small and outwardly aloof, yet subtly influential and tremendously wealthy. They are led by a shadowy directorate of powerful archmages who dispatched Archwizard Eldrick Runeweaver to oversee their operations in Drakkenheim. Most of its members are potent arcane spellcasters with access to rare magical resources, but only a handful of agents are active in Drakkenheim.
Their need for delerium is steadily increasing as they escalate their research into the potent powers of the crystal. They have been able to stabilize it, rendering it harmless, but still powerful. Staffs tipped with delerium orbs have begun to appear, their capabilities known only to the Academy. They have been able to create, in limited quantities, a potion that restores spell slots called Aqua Delerium. It contains delerium dust, so there are risks involved in using it, but the risks may be worth the rewards.
