Once every decade on the eve of St. Poskov's Day during mid-winter, the coastal city of Tiyabon experiences a horrific event. Quool's Tide rolls in, depositing hundreds of bloated, fish-eaten corpses upon the pebbly shores of Tiyabon's wide bay. This singularity is to this day unexplained, though countless theories abound. It is said for example, that these corpses are not eaten by the myriad fish of the seas completely, due to the fear all creatures of the seas hold for Quool.
Named for Quool, a terrible, antediluvian god of seas and storms, who no longer exists for he has no worshipers, the Tide chokes the beaches and surf with the countless rotting bodies of those who had perished at sea in a violent way.
Almost immediately, the lifeless corpses are fed upon by crabs, gulls, and worse things that await the horrid feast. The townsfolk let nature take it course with disinterested disgust, though lately some enterprising adventurers have taken to searching along the beaches of flesh for former deceased companions, with intentions of raising them again!
Surprisingly no undead ever rise from among the many corpses. This is also a mystery.

The first of what will be a honking lot of subs on magical orders in my world; I'll include most of the significant ones, save for the Order of the Blue Star, which is ganked from Marion Zimmer Bradley's Lythande stories and works more or less as the Pilgrim Adepts are presented in them.
If there's further info people want, let me know. A lot of detail is redacted, I'm afraid, pertaining to template and skill information particular to GURPS.

Very solid structure, from the smallest chantries to the mother of all Colleges. Complete but not over whelming. Could easily be stolen by anyone looking for an international brotherhood of wizards. Should be served best with white wine. Thanks!

Ah, i see. This is the mother-sub. Very evocative names! So yeah, you can maybe make this a codex, then attach all the separate schools/societies. I just think that would pull them all together nicely.

I agree with Muro on this - would bring the other subs together well.

One sub to bring them all,one sub to find them...
