Luminous Discipline (magic school)

In the oldest stories of Kharadamat, handed down, perhaps, from a time when the word "Sarradon" meant nothing at all, Magi are universally referred to by a singular, and perhaps strange, term. For while modern retellings will often use the word "Magi", the more accurate translation of that ancient term would be 'Practitioner of the Luminous Discipline'. And while the Sarradonian cultures that inhabit most of the peninsula might view this as a mere quirk of language, to the Dezhunic peoples of the Kharadamatian interior, it means something far greater.

Because to them, that Luminous Discipline is still practiced as in the ancient stories. While not a well-defined system of magic like is practiced by their Sarradonian neighbors, or the Aversarians across the sea, these ancient rites still hold sway over the forces of Light and Fire, and will continue to do so for as long as those stories are told.
