Related to I am taking a look at the organizations for Arcane Spellcasters in the North.
The Wizards Cabal
The main organization of Wizards. Perscutors of Sorcerers etc etc.
Ordo Elementarum
Elemental Mages, recently returned from the Planes. They hate technology and seek to destroy inventions and clock work tech.
Quincke's Brigade
A small group working against the Wizard's Cabal. Possibly controlled by the Egg of Coot.
Scroll and Blade
Mercenary Wizards based off Bramwald.
Eldrich Underground
Alliance of Sorcerers and Rogue Wizards, working to thwart the rule of the Wizards Cabal.
My initial reaction was that these are way too many organizations for such a small group of individuals. However, looking a bit more closely into the matter, it becomes clear that many of them only have a small representation in the North. Quincke's Brigade is just a small group to begin with. Ordo Elementarum might be bigger, but most of their members are still travelling the planes or are scattered elsewhere.
It is also problematic that most elves are apparently not part of any of the organizations. The same goes for Afridhi and monster spellcasters.
Here's suggested breakdown of the membership numbers:
The Wizards Cabal - 200
Ordo Elementarum - 30
Quincke's Brigade - 20
Scroll and Blade - 50
Eldrich Underground - 200
This assumes there being around 700 mages in the North. The organizations include ca 500, leaving around 200 mages not belonging to any organization.
Thoughts on this?
