Foreword It is with great honour and with great sadness that I, Archmage Felaby, Professor of the Adjacent, albeit sometimes Chaotic Planes and Exotic Magicks, College Envoy to Multifarious Planes, notably the Feywild, Arcane Authority, Arcana Espionage Artist, Baleful Spirit Removal Savant, Abjuration Prodigy of the College of the Infrequently Seen accept the responsibility as College Headmaster. Professor and Former Headmaster Rixen Arvel did a great work here at the College, despite a variety of happenstance misfortunes. Rixen Arvel was indeed a paragon of inspiriting encouragement, sprightly fortitude and above all, hope for the future generations. Stated thusly, as Headmaster it is my hope to exemplify these qualities in guidance for the College progressing forth in Rixen Arvel's retirement. Headmaster Conundrum You will be pleased to know that, despite misplaced promises of promotions and advanced magical gifts, my hand was not forced to enact College law upon the rogue Professor Faelon. Contrary to popular opinion here at the College, he was quite capable of finally heeding to reason. Thusly , it is for this reason alone that I have issued the executive decision to reassign Professor Faelon as field Professor of the College of the Infrequently Seen, effective immediately. I have also reserved for him, a seat on the College Council as Archivist of Evil and Mundane Artefacts, effective upon completion of the Death Curse's desistance. Many of you are in probable disagreement with this executive decision due to the consequential combustion of the College's entire west wing and his subsequent flight from its repercussions. However, upon witnessing Faelon's judicious wisdom personally, even when the odds appeared to weigh in his favour. I believe his work at the College should not be dismissed so soon. I am pleased to address any and all anxieties or concerns regarding this matter personally in my office, you need only make an appointment with my secretary. In the interest of reallocating resources to improve College apparatus and incidental insurance, we are reducing the supply stock and preparatory volume of crab sandwiches at the canteen and lobster will be removed from the menu completely. Feywild Rift As you all know, the Feywild Summer Court has recently expressed concern regarding a rift that has begun to bleed cross-plane. Queen Titania's most recently appointed Coure Drev'nae and I are continuing to investigate the matter. As such, I will be unable to take appointments in my office this week and possibly the following. Until we have identified and eliminated the issue, I must ask that all apprentices year 8 and lower to please reduce your fey conjuration and communication practice. Most of all do not rehearse these lessons alone or with a study partner. We had an incident last week with nearly a dozen or more Redcaps. Argyle is still isolated in the Northward from trauma after witnessing his study partner Donovan's death and the sequential mass sprouting of several more Redcaps from the spilt blood thereof. Seriously. DON'T DO IT. Also, boots designed with iron toes, soles, or remotely resembling any of the aforementioned are banned. Following last week, I should not have to explain why. Conclusion While Rixen Arvel's retirement may leave our hearts wistful in his absence, the College of the Infrequently Seen holds a propitious future. It is my intention as your Headmaster, with your support and the help of Faelon's colleague my newest colleague Coure Drev'nae, to achieve far more than the College previously thought possible. ~ Headmaster Archmage Felaby, Professor of the Adjacent, albeit sometimes Chaotic Planes and Exotic Magicks, College Envoy to Multifarious Planes, notably the Feywild, Arcane Authority, Arcana Espionage Artist, Baleful Spirit Removal Savant, Abjuration Prodigy of the College of the Infrequently Seen
