White Mage

White Mage is one of the professions available when building a character.

Description
The Gareth Academy of Sword and Staff is a branch of the Alliance of the White Pentagram. Originally established in the Middenrealmish city of Beilunk, they had to leave the city (Praios saved Beilunk from demons with a miracle; in gratitude, his Church imposed a ban on magic within the city).

These former Beilunkers are known as excellent battlemages who protect themselves with sword and staff. They are staunch defenders of the Middenrealm and selflessly join the Empress' army in times of war. Their education is tough, stern, and austere. The mages of Gareth are said to love truth and avoid deceptions, viewing falsehoods as displeasing to the gods.

Unlike other mages, they do not enjoy research (being magical warriors), and try to stick to the basics. Their book collections are usually smaller than those of other mages and include mostly works about their specialty: combat.
