Godric's Children

"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops."

- Henry Adams

Godric's Children (ゴッドリックの子供, Goddorikku no Kodomo) is a colloquial phrase used to refer to the recent generation of talented, young mages in the council's ranks whose entire life took place under the twenty year tenure of the council chairman, Godric Highlander. As such, they have taken upon many of his ideologies, the most prominent of them being an opposition to mage supremacist and traditionalist movements across the magic world, of which the chairman is a fierce opponent of. In a wider sense, it's simply used to refer to the council's finest prodigies that were born in the early X980s, however, it's ideological implications are of an importance that cannot be obscured by the former. Kane Vista and Jeik Zinoviev are considered the most prominent individuals of this collective.
