It has become the first and formost magical training school in the north. </div> <div>   Select students are offered a chance to join the secret scociety called The Order of the Emerald Mages, a group designed to battle evil magic users that would harm noble places such as Silverymoon. They share a special hatred for the Red Wizards of Thay. </div> <div>   Of course, running a magical college and a secret orginization of mages is no easy task, and takes most of Shalamar's time. </div> <bR> <div> Game Scores (Aspects)</div> <div>   The following list details Shalamar's Aspects, the things he should be most concerned with. An Aspect is something that is important to the survival of the college or Shalamar's personal ego/life, such as money, supplies, and reputation. Aspects go up or down with each decision he makes, usually in a range of 0-4, up or down. </div> <div>   The idea then, of course, is to make decisions that will cause all Aspects to go as high as possible. However, often a decision that causes one Aspect to rise will cause another to fall.</div> <div>   A roll is made against each Aspect each turn on 3d6. If the roll is lower, a special occurance happens. If the Aspect is negaive, then a successful roll indicates a negative special occurance. A positive Aspect will yeild a positive occurance.</div> <div>   Sometimes other special occurances will happen that are not under the control of decisions that Kinias will make, such as weather changes and natural disasters, although not all such occurances are bad.</div> <div>   Shalamar has three main advisors, as listed below, that might give their opinions each turn.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Shalamar</B></div> <div> Reputation: +5</div> <bR> <div> <B>Emerald Towers of Silverymoon</B></div> <div> School Reputation: +5</div> <div> Number of Students: 200</div> <div>   Output of 1st-3rd level mages per year: 20</div> <div>   Output of 4th level mages per year: 10</div> <div>   Output of 5th level mages per year: 10</div> <div>   Output of 6th level mages per year: 4</div> <div> Teachers: 20, each at 10th level (Shalamar's requirement)</div> <div> Required Pay for teachers: -5 Coffers at the end of the year</div> <div> Coffers: +10</div> <div> Profit earned from enrollment per year: +4 per year</div> <div> Wizards gaining school access per year: 10</div> <div> Profit earned from school access per year: +1per year</div> <div> Magical Experiments: None</div> <div> Information: 95% common, 50% rare, 20% very rare</div> <div> Favor (Mystra): +2</div> <bR> <div> <B>Order of The Emerald Mages</B></div> <div> Mage, Level, Specialty </div> <bR> <div> Silvenmane, 20th, teaching</div> <div> Thautsus, 18th</div> <div> Makor, 17th</div> <div> Orlan, 15th</div> <div> Kelper, 12th</div> <div> Zaltain, 11th</div> <div> Periton, 10th</div> <div> Incanus 10th</div> <div> Eragon, 10th</div> <bR> <div> Loyalty: +10</div> <div> Morale: +10</div> <div> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------</div> <div> Explanation of Aspects:</div> <bR> <div> <B>Shalamar</B></div> <bR> <div> Reputation: </div> <div>   Reputation is how people view Shalamar himself as opposed to his school.

After obtaining sixth level, the mages are "professional mages" and graduate from the college.
