The Draol were the last remaining order of magic users prior to the Great Purge, as all the other minor schools were wiped out. At the outset of the Second Age, they were only one of two main generalist orders, vastly outnumbering the Eari order. The Draol studied their arts from a campus called The Tamaligus, which was on Greater Galwyndor until the Great Purge, when it was transferred to a secluded location in northeast Letania (now Scurn).

The Draol school of magic preferred to hoard magic as much as possible and release it in large bursts. Because this style was best served towards destructive ends, the Draol garnered negative attention, especially after the 4th Great War. It was also almost exclusively the Draol who acted as Battlefield Mages, essentially assisting in wartime to leverage the chaos and constant flux of the energy produced by such concentrated violence. They were also thought to practice the Dark Arts, which were forbidden to be taught at the Earian Institute of the Arcane.
Vorsys Mythos
Because each school of magic had its own method of teaching, they also had different ideas on where magic came from, how it worked, and how it was best used. The Draol taught that magical energy, called Vorsys, permeated everything as a result of a great cosmic battle between two vordragons. This is directly tied to the creation myth of the Inar.
The Great Purge
At the time of the Great Purge, the Draol Order was one of two remaining orders of magic, the other being the Eari. The Eari order was self-eliminated in order to prevent the world from being obliterated through irresponsible use of magic. At that time, the most powerful Draol was Orilac, who was head of the order, and the last Draol was Atury, who known as the Glyphmaster.
Notes
- Because the Draol hoarded magical energy, a mage's power was determined primarily by how much magic they could absorb, and the secondary gauge was in how they utilized the magic.
