Hermetic University
It's AD 1141. A black centroafrican Archmage steps into Crocus Briarea, and puts the foundations to rise a Magical hermetic faculty, in which almost all of the mages institutes their lessons. After a years spent in constructing and putting together all the necessary protocols and authorizations from the Rome Tribunal, the University starts its teachings. Four mages come in order to teach: Magus Ardente, a bonisagus with a profound knowledge of the Hermetic Code, Maga Sonja, an ex miscellanea mage with a great expertise in demonic matters, Magus Marcus from Bjornaer, and his teaching about knowing and unleashing the bestial soul inside the magus, and finally the archmage, with the role of general chief, and teacher of forms and techs.
