The Vermilion Wizards are an arcane faction consisting of many of those practitioners of magic that have been kicked out of Taarna's Empyrean Order Arcana.
The Vermilion Wizards were once regarded as outcasts from the Empyrean Order Arcana. However, now they are seen as viable wizards and have become a distinguished order unto themselves, respected even more so that the Empyrean Order Arcana. Mostly due to the fact that they stay out of the affairs of humans and demi-humans alike.
