I am just wondering if anyone remembers any schools that are primarily norsirai?
Mandate: recruited from Nroni
Scarlet Spires: recruited from Ainoni
Saik: " " Nansur
Vokalati (spelling?): " " Nilnameshi
Cishaurim: " " Kianene
Mysunsai: ?
Swayal Compact: probably the only truly diverse school
Hell, even the College of Luthymae is probably mostly Nansur
I guess technically the consult is mostly norsirai ;D
Also, I kind of remember Akka mentioning minor schools but never actually naming any. I also find it odd that Atrithau and Sakarpus dont have schools. Youd think that being as threatened by sranc as they are they would be ok with any advantage they can get, tusk or not.

Atrithau is anarcane ground. Can't have a school there to easily. And the Few are pretty few. As little population as those cities and their hinterland collectively have, it'd be hard to get enough for a school even if they wanted to.
As you said, the Maengaecca is likely pretty much entirely Norsirai. I suppose it's possible the Imperial Saik may have Cepalorean Norsirai as well. And who knows where the Mysunsai draws the bulk of their recruits.

i got the feeling that there were not any Norsirai schools after the First Apocalypse. i think there were 4 schools in the north (Mangaecca, Sohonc, and 2 others) -- where did i read that at? so when the Great Ordeal happens, the only Norsirai nations left are Galeoth, Thunyerus, and Ce Tydon right? i don't remember them having a school. i bet if any young Norsirai with the gift get recognized, they get scooped up by the Scarlet Spires (being nearby) or by the Mysunsai (being the traveling type).
there seems to be something about being civilized and refined enough to have sorcerers about because the more barbarian types (latter day Norsirai and Scylvendi) don't have schools. idk
-
The three Norsirai nations you mentioned should also be noted as being refugee states that were formed in migratory invasions. They don't exist during the apocalypse. And Thunyerus wasn't even a nation until relatively recently in the time of Prince of Nothing. Just a collection of tribes.

too true! also, i think in the TTT glossary it talks about the Mysunsai being formed from 3 smaller schools--perhaps one was Norsirai?

Stumbled across this. Yeah, one of the three schools that conglomerated into the Mysunsai was a Norsirai Anagogic school. I think from Ce Tydonn, but I might be misremembering that detail.

that Mandate outpost in Atrithau must have been a bitch to maintain. the Mandate there could have a program where they screen kids for the Few whenever they are outside the city--difficult already--and the Mandate at the outpost could start the training, but to complete it, the adept would have to travel back to Atyersus for the grasping
OR all Mandate at the outpost are from the 3 seas--still have to make the perilous journey north to keep the outpost manned

As IRL philosophers on appeared once civilizations where ... civilized. You can't have people think for a living until there is enough excess to provide for them.
