The Persimmon Arcaneum

The Arcaneum is one of the "brotherhoods" that divide the Crystal Tower into groups dedicated to similar goals or philosophies. This group is dedicated to the new, the unexplored, and the unexpected. (add more maybe)

The Persimmon Arcaneum's grounds were a small, well-built compound unfortunately located in Tanner's Mill. They were marked by a grove of persimmon trees in a central courtyard, surrounded by small libraries and laboratories, each dedicated to different areas of magical research.

The grounds were mostly destroyed with the fall of the town, and have been largely empty in the years since. The grove of trees was burnt to the ground, and even now only the smallest saplings have begun to regrow there, while most of the magical research and devices were removed from the site or lost in the aftermath. The entire compound is said to be haunted, and strange lights appear throughout the area on cold nights.

There are currently a handful of Persimmon wizards housed at the Crystal Tower in Kingsfall. (add something here about how they're not on-board with Arturo, but not actively trying to prevent him from taking over, preferring to adopt a wait-and-see approach that some fear may hurt them should Arturo actually gain the throne.)

Notable Persimmon wizards include:
 * Reinhard von Schneider (Dean)
 * Karsten von Forster (Chancellor)
 * Annalise von Krum (Wizard)

Other Persimmon-associated people:
 * Franz von Strom - Apprentice
 * Maester Leopold - Overseer of the Categorium (Non-wizard)
