D'Hara Consortium

The D'Hara Consortium is one of the Five Baronies that rules over Gelthis jointly. It is situated along the western side of Gelthis, between the Cloud Scar Mountains to the south and the Stone Spine to the north. It is mostly a mountainous region with plenty of mining operations for Mana Crystals, a crystalized form of arcane magic used in many arcane constructs. The Consortium is considered the center of all research and knowledge within Gelthis. Ruled by the Arcane Council which is lead by the Grand Master, D'hara is home to the Amethyst Institute, the premier academy for arcane learning. Also here is the notorious Library of the Five Hundred, a library dedicated to the preservation and collection of Iraelon's history and knowledge.

History
The D'Hara Consortium started shortly after the end of the Great War. A group of like minded wizards, warlocks and sorcerers came together to create the Council and establish a place where they could practice their arts in relative safety. Leading the charge was Dywel Enbella, a talented wizard that started his career studying the mineral deposits in the region. He quickly discovered that these Mana Crystals are a great focus of arcane energies and can be used in multiple automated constructions. With this the D'Hara Consortium was able to create a marvelous automated city powered by the arcane energies of Mana Crystals. Because of this however the Consortium guards the Mana Crystal mines closely, restricting access to the crystals from the rest of Gelthis.

Capital City: Maltin
Maltin is the center of all gathered knowledge in the Consortium. Home of the Amethyst Institute the city is almost just one big college, separated out into multiple districts each focusing on a different aspect of their arcane lifestyle: Enchantment, Construction, Spell Development, Historical Research, and Leadership.
