The Middle Lands Magic Research Consortium (MLMRC) is an organization of scholars from all five Magus Academies of the Middle Lands : The Spire of Rahn, the Bonfire Shrine, the Grand Academy of Fulgrath , the Gladering University of the Arcane, and the Rickard Leeuw Magistorium, which spend one month each year together at the Tower of Five to convene a research think tank and meet up on four other annual occasions to hold research symposiums.

Structure There is a new chairman designated for each yearly month of research, always rotating through the five elements to not grant any special advantage to any one of the Five Cities. He or she is mostly responsible for the formalities and organization of the think tank while all participants are treated as equal scholars under the pursuit of knowledge. That being said, experienced mages and scholars with high ranks and many recognized publications are generally afforded more attention when they proclaim their opinions.

Public Agenda Magic research without borders to unite and advance the Middle Lands. This shall be the number one tenant of this Symposium and any groups that emerge from it. — Rastel Jotvalner, head of the Hall of Rahn at the the Rahn Hall Symposium of Middlish Scholars in 79 GE

Assets The MLMRC have partnerships with alchemy, smithing, magic engineering, and other guilds in all the Five Cities of the Middle Lands. They also have close ties to the five Magus Academies of Aquaris, Lumina Aka, Fulgrath, Arda, and Aerialis, receiving funding from research foundations of all five as well as the Tower of Five.
