Night Court (magic school)

The native Clanlanders of Kalathipsomi traditionally derive most of their Magic from pacts with various kinds of nature spirits. According to folklore, these entities fall under the domains of either the 'Day' or 'Night' courts - so named both for the times of day they are thought to be at their most powerful and their general demeanor. The Night Court has historically been the far more maligned and shunned of the two. Considering the kinds of spirits that fall within its domain — shadowfae, boogeymen, venderja and dark beings even more ancient — this is perhaps understandable. Bargains with these entities are never a safe nor sane affair, but the often nightmarish powers of Dark, Dream and Nature that they can lend are a force to be reckoned with.
