Magas Firale (Ma-gas Fee-ra-le) is an extremely powerful guild of mages, as independent and respected as any sovereign nation. Any mage may apply for membership, which has various benefits. For one thing, it offers an independent mage a certain level of protection from governments. It also grants members a degree of respectability they might otherwise lack. Magas Firale does not order its mages to do anything, but often offers them missions in exchange for appropriate compensation.
