Editing Magistery (section)

==Magistery Houses==
Each Magistery House has a color, element, doctrine, headmaster, and vice-headmaster, and generally at least one titular nickname for members.

===Browns, House of Divinity===
The House of Divinity focuses on gathering and preserving knowledge, and is often called the Knowledgebase. The house is led by Headmaster Odinson, [[The Brown]] and vice-headmaster Galstaff currently presides as [[First Chair]]. Members of this house are called Browns, Loremasters, or sometimes Diviners, and they are characterized by generally forsaking the mundane world, instead dedicating themselves to history and study, and are responsible for the administration of the Magistery Library. Browns are noted for being dreamy, and unaware of the world around them, often lost in thought. This dreaminess is often used as a cover by crafty Browns who may suddenly show a startling amount of clarity. Browns are the least concerned with their appearance, and more than one brown has been noted wearing improper clothing, or with ink smudges on their face because they are too focused on their studies to pay attention to anything else. Many a diviner works during the night, when the Magistery is quieter so as to not be disturbed during their studies.

===Blacks, House of Time===
The House of Time is a newly formed house from the drow saved by the Magistery, and focuses on realmatic unity and the harmony of the planes. The house is led by Headmaster Halisstra, [[The Black]] and vice-headmaster Telerthquessir currently officially presides as [[Cosmopolitan]] although he stayed in the Underdark to save two of Halisstra's house members who went missing before the [[Collapse of Menzoberranzan]]. Members of this house are called Unifiers. They are carving out their niche within the Magistery.

===Blues, House of Water===
The House of Water focuses on causes of righteousness and justice, and are often called illuminators internally and spymasters externally because they govern the largest network of eyes and ears across the world. The house is led by Headmaster Navira, [[The Blue]], and vice-headmaster Oskul currently presides as [[First Selector]]. Characterized by self-concern with justice, noble causes, and in general "saving the world," the Blues can be so passionate and centered that often others see the Blues as "so ready to save the world that they lose themselves." Interestingly, though they are known as the most likely to be swayed by emotion, in pursuing their causes the Blues can also become very cold, rational and emotionless as any White. Another typical characteristic of the spymasters is that they are very capable in intrigues, always planning ways to win their causes of righteousness. In the eyes of other Magisters they can be seen as incorrigible schemers.

===Greens, House of Earth===
The House of Earth focuses on war and battle, and is often called the War-House. The house is led by Headmaster Warden, [[The Green]], and vice-headmaster Kord currently presides as [[Captain General]].
Greens are flamboyant, frivolous, and direct. They, along with the Yellows, take great great pride and care with their appearance. The Captain General has said that a Green must love life, not simply like it the way the Blues do. Greens always adhere to their hierarchies and although ranks below Captain General are not well known outside of the House, greens generally refer to one another by their rank freely, the lowest and most commonly known being Lieutenant. 

===Yellows, House of Lightning===
The House of Lightning focuses on healing. The house is led by Headmaster Nesune, [[The Yellow]], and vice-headmaster Wisakedjak currently presides as [[First Weaver]]. Yellows are often called Weavers, and sometimes healers to the uninitiated. It is often commented that they take great care with their appearance, and have even been called self-centered. Yellows are often thought by other Magisters to be arrogant. Some yellows believe that their house is the only house with a useful purpose and the other houses are simply adjuncts to their own. Healing is a talent that not all Magisters possess, but it is considered a requirement for entry into the House of Lightning. The best healers are always Yellows, and it is said that they will try to heal anything. In reality, the First Weaver states it is not only the ability to heal that marks a Yellow, but rather a desire to always help others and resolve problems, a Yellow must be skilled in healing, but also be passionate about fixing all things.

===Reds, House of Fire===
The House of Fire focuses on castigating the wrong and dangerous use of magic and power. The house is led by Headmaster Danavus, [[The Red]], and vice-headmaster Liandrin currently presides as the [[Highest]]. In the past, this also included hunting and disbanding Mage guilds in competition with the Magistery, but this activity has--at least officially--since ceased, however they have generally adopted the moniker culler for themselves because of this past. The reds use advanced techniques for detecting magic and magical implements to find and eradicate inappropriate usage of magic and power, sometimes by bringing the offenders into the Magistery and training them formally, sometimes by direct combat if necessary. Often Reds are the ones who check up on Magistery deserters and ensure they are not misusing Magistery teachings to their personal benefit.

===Grays, House of Wind===
The House of Wind focuses on diplomacy and mediation in politics, and is sometimes called the Government House in Solace. The house is led by Headmaster Eowyn, [[The Gray]], and vice-headmaster Melvin Dooley currently presides as [[Head Clerk]]. Because most grays work primarily in the library they are all often called clerks, although formally they refer to one another as mediators, governers, grays, or in some cases for neophytes, pendulums. Grays believe that mediation is the sole territory of the House of Wind, and by claiming Gray prerogative, can exclude all other houses from being involved in talks and negotiations. They are familiar with the laws of every land, and most Grays believe that any problem can be solved if they talk about it for long enough.

===Whites, House of Sonic===
The House of Sonic focuses on logic and philosophy. The house is led by Headmaster Leda, [[The White]], and vice-headmaster Pythia currently presides as [[First Reasoner]]. Whites or Reasoners ignore the social causes that define the Blues, Grays, Greens, and Reds, and have no room for the worldly knowledge of the Browns, or the urge to fix broken things that the Yellows do. It is said that they have no room in their hearts for passions at all, however they are deeply passionate in their search for the truth. Many reasoners appear almost ascetic in their behavior. They are known for their serenity and calm heads, and are often described as emotionless and icy. It is this coldness that aids them in their search for the truth, forsaking all emotion enables them to approach each subject without bias. The judgment given by a White is considered the most impartial and least conditioned by sentiments, interests, and personal involvements. Their extremely rational minds can be limiting, other magisters consider whites to be "All logic and no heart," and this distance from the human passions can prohibit reasoners from fully understanding behaviors and intentions of others. Reasoners are good at resolving logic and mathematics questions, a skill that is very useful for the administration of a huge city such as Solace.
