Arlodant

Also known as the Mage Country, Arlodant is known for its large population of mages and other related job classes. It is also well-known for its many Magic Towers filled with mages and academies which basically guarantees a job at the Magic Towers, making it the wish of many aspiring mages.

Arlodante is a very small neutral country on the continent’s southwest. The country consists of only around a dozen cities and most of its population is concentrated in its capital, Arlo. However, no one would think of it as a small country.

The Mages’ Country, Country of Magic and Superpower Without City Walls. These are the more well-known titles of Arlodante, as well as facts commonly agreed upon throughout the continent.

This is a heaven for Mages. Not just for the commonly seen Elemental Mages in the continent, but Mages of Divine Art, Seers, Warlocks and Dark Mages are also gathered here. There are also private research facilities for Necromancers and Blood Mages, who are the public enemy of the continent. As long as they don’t overdo it, the country’s governing body would simply turn a blind eye to them.

Around 1% of its entire population are spellcasters. Even though 90% of them are rookies who can’t even be considered as a disciples of magic, compared to the other countries, they have a more than 100 times ratio of Mages that become useful assets.

It is the sacred land of all Mages. By the way, the 2nd generation Roland also trained here previously and even went to school. This is where he met Harloys.

There are nobles in this country, but the nobles do not hold privileges as compared to the civilians. In this country, true authority is held in the hands of the spellcasters.

The atmosphere of academics is very strong here. Countless spellcasters study and grow here and the number of Mage Organisations here are innumerable. Only the wisest and strongest Mage are allowed to possess their personal experiment lab in the Floating City ‘Cloud Tower’.

The true authority over the decision-making of this country belongs to the 18 strongest Mage Organisations in the Cloud Tower. The individual masterminds of these organisations then created a council termed as the ‘Truth Symposium’. The name may not sound authoritative, but even the small kids in Arlodante know that the members of the Symposium are the ones who hold true power over the governance of the country.

Power Distribution
There are a lot of Mage Towers in this city-cum-country, most of which are ruled by ancient mages who've lived for a very long time, maybe even since a few Holy Wars ago.
