The Sorcerers' Concordat

The Sorcerers Concordat is the oldest organization of magic users in Makia. It was formed in the aftermath of the non-aggression pact long before the Solar Flares. It unites and has control over most of Makian mages, academies like Dol Muiren, and institutions like Aperture Science.

It's led by the Ecliptic Council, which consists of two main governing bodies that have guided the Concordat's practices for centuries. The Council was established to aid the Concordat in administering and regulating practitioners of the supernatural. In particular, the Council focused on experiments, research, and expanding magical knowledge.

Regulations
The Concordat regulated and oversaw the use of supernatural abilities, making sure that practices such as work with demons, necromancy, and artifact compression (all labeled "dark magic") were kept to a bare minimum. Practitioners of dark magic were given fair and just sentences (usually being kept in dimertarium (a magic-prohibiting state) for several centuries). Individuals who ignored the ban used to be excluded from the Concordat and were considered as renegades, e.g. Alzur or Idarran. However, though all mages are equal before the law, some of them are actually "more equal than others"; an open secret was commonly breaking the bans in places like Risseban until it came to light decades later.
