Pathosixyic Academies (concept)
The Pathosixyic Academies (named after Aautokratir Pathos who began Aversarian expansion into Kalathipsomi in archaic 'Runic Aversarian', a popular dialect among classicist Practitioners), or more commonly just 'the Mayikprolollans' are the accepted name for the three Mayikprolollans of Kalathipsomi that would historically become the most influential and famous academies of their ilk. While other mayikprolollans would rise and fall in fame and fortune, the Pathosixyic Academies (the Mayikprolollan sto Spathas, sto Thallas, and chief of all the Mayikrata) would not only be the first three to be formed but also become the informal leaders of all other academies.
After their true founding in the eigth century IS, the leaders of the three Academies would convene to write the second edition (and the most important) of the Concordial Pact and, several years later, the Treatise of Good Practice, which would come to dictate the proper and legal teachings of all Aversarian Magi along with the correct usage of magic. Not only schools, the Pathosixyic Academies would also become economic centers and the most important laboratories on The Continent, both building the largest known archive of magical knowledge and artifacts on Aeras and becoming centers for learning and experimentation. Despite this, however, the Pathosixyic Academies would become known for their increasingly political nature. Using their unique position of isolating and controlling the children who would one day be the most influential powerbrokers of Aversaria, the Mayikprolollans often sought to turn their students into political puppets through a mix of social pressure, financial debt, and very often even blackmail and threats.
The legacy of the Academies as prestigious institutions of learning would end after Frodbrokna and the collapse of the empire during the Month of the Magi in 1218 IS, when the Mayikrata would declare itself an independent aautokrata separate from greater Aversaria, followed by similar declarations from its two child academies.
