Education:
Heart of the City School:
This is the School for the Heart of the City. Located in the mid-section of one of the skyscrapers, it has a spectacular view of the city. Students may sit on balconies during their free time.
There are no textbooks, and the education is good, considering the environment. The students learn a variety of subjects. Food is provided every day to students.
Middle City Slums School:
This is where the children go to school. The entire building is grey, and no security is there. Students rarely get into fights out of fear of the consequences. There are no textbooks, and the chairs are rickety.
However, food is guaranteed, and all the students receive equal education of a quality similar to that in the Heart of the City. The only difference is the quality of the equipment.
The Outskirts School:
This is the school in the Outskirts. It is only one room, and it is made of aged wood. There are some holes in the ceiling. The floor is made of dirt.
There are no textbooks, and the education is poor. The teacher is from the Outskirts and is not very educated due to the quality of education received. No non-Outskirts person is willing to teach here. Students still learn what they must.
There are numerous classes on more practical schools here.
General:
All people are required to attend school from the ages of 8-16. As this is based by age, early graduation is not possible.
However, within this, a child is placed in the level of education best fitting to him or her. Thus, a student who is fifteen could be in a class usually only attended by the few students who carry on with their education past the age of sixteen.

Society Prior to the Council:
Before the Council, there was the failing monarchy. The king was a tyrant. He taxed the peasants more than they could pay, and if they could not pay, they could be publicly whipped, enlisted in the army, or forced to work on public monuments to the king.
All the while, invasions by nomads threatened the kingdom. The king tried to get more people in his army, many of whom were mercenaries.
He tried having the magic-users of his kingdom help, and they helped, but there were magic users among the nomads as well, and it proved to be too much for them.
The conditions within the kingdom were bad enough that many people were happy to let the invaders take over.
The Origin of the Council:
The Council began as a group of ten people. They came from different walks of life. Some, like Devon Cem and his wife, were travelling mages, long having seen the suffering of the people and having endured harsh punishments themselves. Some were warlords and kings among the nomadic invaders. The rest were people of the kingdom, sick of the abuse they suffered.
Together, these people nearly had succeeded in overthrowing the monarchy when one of their number betrayed them. The remaining Nine survived and killed the dissenter, the first hint of the bloodlust that future incarnations of the Council would eventually be known for.
After a few more years of work, they overthrew the king and slaughtered all the nobles and royals they and their army could find. Some escaped, but not many.
The Council, now ruling the kingdom that would become The City, had a Wall taller than what anyone could see built around a cluster of villages (excluding the castle). However, once the Wall was built around the City, magic was lost because the City was cut off from the source of the magic.
