| ====== Bio ====== | |
| "What is magic and what is service?" These two things serve as the foundation for the university. How teachers teach is entirely up to said teachers. Some prefer traditional methods (studying books), some prefer more practical knowledge (interacting with the local community or going out into the world to study), and some others still prefer some esoteric and bizarre method of teaching. Currently, Teacher Takulu Ot is attempting to gather support for a department of education for the teaching of pedagogy. Currently, only [[esi_djana|Esi]] has been showing support for this as several of the teachers have taken this as a sort of insult to their methodology. | |
| |
| No magic is forbidden, only how it is applied. This principle goes back to the original Old Mage Jatembe who accepted many different people who practiced many different types of magic and who held many different ethical beliefs. Old Mage Jatembe believed true strength came from diversity and experiences. | |

| ====== Ten Magic Warriors ====== | |
| The following links for the Ten Magic Warriors and Old-Mage Jatembe are stories told in various villages. The truth of these stories should be taken with a grain of salt as these stories are frequently moral stories told to children. Most of you would know that this is intended by Old-Mage Jatembe as he believed an official record of their actions and beliefs would stifle individuality. Even if he vehemently disagreed with a fellow magic warrior, he would not do so publicly, preferring private chastisement. Also, most of these stories stretch back over 7,000 years. Things get changed over time. | |
| |
| Old-Mage Jatembe is included here as, while he is a Magic Warrior, he is not typically included in the numbering. Keep in mind that there was a [[magaambya:The Betrayer|twelfth member]] who betrayed Old-Mage Jatembe. This person has largely been wiped from any record of being part of the travels of the Ten Magic Warriors. As such, since your characters represent a more intellectual / searching personalities, you understand that some of the story inconsistencies or displays of power might be from this twelfth member and appropriated into another member, even if the story or moral does not fit that member very well. | |
