EQ:Erudite

Erudites were originally Qeynosian scholars who chose to separate themselves from the rest of their people, and built a new city, Erudin, on the continent of Odus. The necromantic arts were banned in Erudin; the High Council feared what necromancy represented. Eventually, one faction led by Miragul wanted to pursue the forbidden arts and split off from Erudin in a violent schism. In the ensuing war, violent magics were unleashed that sundered the fabric of Odus. The Hole was created in one event; the chunk of land that had previously been there was blown clear out of Norrath, landing on Luclin, Norrath's moon, with implications for the Vah Shir. After everything had settled, there were two clearly separate factions. Good Erudites -- led by those who worship Quellious -- stayed in Erudin, while the faction led by Miragul founded the city of Paineel. There were subjects that even the heretics of Paineel stigmatized; eventually Miragul abandoned his city, and traveled to the frozen north in search of knowledge.

The hunting grounds of Toxxulia Forest are readily accessible to members of both factions, although the heretics of Paineel do have their own pseudo-private newbie yard as well.
