Mysiddian Circle

Oldest extant secret society of mages, now functions more as an academic institution and repository of valuable history and knowledge

The Elder Circle of the Magi is supposed to be a council of equals, but in order to avoid persecution and allow members of non-Crucian faith to retain their positions, a Prophetian Patriarch acts as the "Holy Elder" of the council which apparently is supposed to mean leader. The Prophetians wanted the title to be "Arch Elder of the Circle" but the other Elders had to explain that there is no pinnacle arch to a circle.
