Archons

See also: Lore

Sharlayan does not bestow the title of Archon upon each and every wise man. Indeed, it is said that only those who have demonstrated an exceptional knowledge of their respective subjects and made a great contribution to their fields are selected and certified. Those who rise to Archon have an arcane pattern etched upon their skin, thus distinguishing them from normal folk with a single glance. Apparently, there are more benefits attached to the position than one might suspect, not the least of which being free access to forbidden tomes.
