The Andavis

The Andavis, or Spirit Sages are a group of sorcerers whose primary aim is to understand the planes of existence and the boundaries between them. Ultimately they wish to gain the ability to converge the planes in order to meld them.

Symbolism
The core icon of the Andavis is a flattened ring, viewed almost flat on, representing the prime material plane. Each of the Sects of the Andavis adjusts their symbol according to their area of study. For example, the Elemental sect has two curved crosses, one on each side of the ring, whereas the Energy sect instead has a curved line above and below the centre ring.

Members of the Assembly of the Andavis wear a symbol which contains the additions of every sect, thus representing the entire multiverse as it is currently known.

Members of the Andovis will wear their symbols as either a necklace, or as an icon sown onto one cuff of their clothing.

Sects
There are several sects of the Andavis, who broadly speaking each study a seperate set of planes.

Elemental
These sorcerers study the four prime elemental planes: Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. Their study has also provided them with information on the lesser elemental planes.

Primordial
The primordial sect of the Andavis study the Feywild and Shadowfell, and are particularly interested in the duality of the two.

Transitive
Members of the transitive sect study and Ethereal and Astral planes. Their study also involves investigation of demiplanes, pockets of existence within the Astral Sea as created by spells such as rope trick, Magnificent Mansion, or items such as Rickle Axager's Reading Nook Book.

Energy
Members of the Energy sect study primarily the Positive and Negative planes of existence, and their duality.

Divine and Abyssal
Theses two sects, between them, study the Outer planes of existence. The Divine sect study the Upper planes, hope to the the Good and Neutral Gods' planes of existence, whereas the Abyssal sect study the Lower planes, hope to the home planes of many Evil Gods, as well as the Nine Hells.
