"Very well, Highness." Vrædyn bowed his head in acknowledgement of Talon's explanation of his next steps.
"Hither we have the Academia Arcanum. It is one organisation with campuses in both the Upper and Lower capital, as well as having several satellite facilities in the Expanse. In addition to being a university that educates our most promising mages, irrespective of caste, it is also an agency dedicated to expanding our magical prowess as a nation and a people. The Sentinels can probably set you up to work at the Umbrian campus, if that is helpful." Vrædyn considered the request for schematics,
"No such thing exists, to my knowledge, but I can have something drawn up. Surely you have recognised the core of the Sceptre is Illumite. A large shard that had been housed in the Temple of the Blazing Sun for millennia. It was used for sundry rituals..." The details of which he elected not to elaborate upon in present company, "...before the dynasties gathered to repurpose it toward its current function."
Vrædyn carefully considered the opportunity presented, nodding thoughtfully.
"As our borders have begun to teem with new peregrini, there are religious concerns over incursion from.... Inmortui. You call them Undead. In our holy Faith, they are seen to be a painful perversion of life's radiance. We have brooked no such creatures in our lands in living memory, and would see any that may lurk beneath Aværys' Sacred Sceptre be obliterated. As Aværys doth abhor the Inmortui, I would ask that His Sceptre be baneful to them and rendereth Atraxia deadly hostile to their presence."
He smiled faintly, almost bashfully.
"I am not without Necromantic knowledge myself, and would happily lend my services to the execution of this endeavour if you deem it possible."
