Crest of the old Warlocks University

"Warlocks is like a post-fallout science fiction world. There are artifacts everywhere: orders and yahoogroups that have all but died, fabled rumours of the master warlocks of yore, profiles with arcane references to old scandals and forgotten aliases. There are these bizarre social structures, sticking out like fallen skyscrapers in the mud, but isolation reigns." — Slartucker, during the Winter
