The Arcane Watchers (The Watchers) is a group of registered arcanists (Wizards, Warlocks and Sorcerers) dedicated to the arcane safety of Seregon. The organization is a social club, sponsored by the Schoonoven family, with its own three story clubhouse (and research basement) on the Schoonoven Estate in the Starfire Hill District. The organization does a few things:
- It registers arcane spellcasters for some peace of mind.
- It puts arcanists on alert for magical threats in the city.
- It allows House Schoonoven to recruit arcanists for research at their vattery.
- It provides a place for arcanists to socialize, relax, practice their craft, and avoid getting into trouble.
Arcanists are often asked to join The Watchers at third level of power. If you are an arcanist, you can apply with a certainty of accepance.
The Watchers have a wonderful arcane library. Arcane topics studied in The Watcher library are researched with Advantage.
