The 
Mageseekers were a 
Demacian order tasked with containing magic within the country.
Lore[]
Despite Demacia being founded by mages and non-mages alike, there were those who seeked to gain power within the nation. Over time they would turn the people against magic, beginning Demacia's crusade against magic and lead to the creation of the Mageseekers. The Mageseekers were an organization tasked with hunting down mages, securing magical artifacts, and accompanying any magical envoys during their stay in the kingdom. If "magical affliction" is noticed in children, they were registered under the Laws of Stone and required to follow its tenets or were given the opportunity to work as Mageseekers themselves. Sylas was one such Mageseeker, being convinced by his parents to give himself up to the order. His magical talents were proven useful in tracking down and securing numerous mages until an incident with a young mage's power caused the death of two Mageseekers and the mage, leading to his imprisonment.
The late King 
Jarvan III wrote a royal decree that would disband the Mageseekers and release the mages within their custody, but was assassinated before he could do so. His son, 
Jarvan IV, found the letter and tore it up, blaming Sylas for his father's death. After the death of the king and Sylas's escape, the Mageseekers began to escalate their oppression of mages in Demacia. Sylas's rebellion waged guerilla warfare against the Mageseekers, raiding their outposts and freeing their prisoners. His army would lead an assault against the capital and slay Eldred Crownguard, the leader of the Mageseekers. Commander Wisteria would assume his post and pressured the new king to warrant the execution of mages. During one of these executions, Sylas's rebels intervened and revealed the truth about Demacia's origins and how people like the Mageseekers twisted it to gain more power. With their lies revealed, public favor turned against the Mageseekers and their growing zeal.
After the Battle of Terbisia, King Jarvan IV followed through with his late father's wishes and disbanded the Mageseekers.

Culture[]
Clothing[]
- Mageseeker Masks: Mageseekers wear half-masks to signify they are acting on behalf of the throne of Demacia and not under their normal social or military roles. Mageseekers are not ashamed by what they do to keep Demacia safe from magic and thus do not conceal their identities.[1]

Mageseeker Compounds[]
A Mageseeker Compound with a Petricite Pillar
The headquarters of the Mageseekers. They are protected by petricite obelisks that can absorb the magic of even the strongest mages. Notable compounds include: Clarion Cove, a lab where Chief Scientist Hesbeth conducted his experiments; Capelworth, an armory within a petricite tree that housed most of Demacia's arsenal; and Ternmoat, a spellcrafting lab where the Mageseekers sought to create their own petricite colossus. The Magseekers store their most dangerous artifacts within their vaults and imprison detained mages with their dungeons. Compounds also house the various experiments of the Mageseekers including: unstable spells stored within petricite, petricite colossi, and amalgamations between mages and animals.
Mageseeker Mages[]
Despite persecuting magic, the Mageseekers had numerous mages within their ranks. Being a Mageseeker was the only way for a mage to be safely accepted as a citizen of Demacia. Many mages were recruited at a young age and indoctrinated with the philosophy of the Mageseekers, sometimes leading to great self-loathing. Young mages are supplied with petricite potions to temper their magical affliction and were mentored by the senior mages within the order. Those who refused to become Mageseekers or could not control their powers were imprisoned like every other mage. A notable mage who achieved high-standing in the order was Commander Wisteria, who succeeded Eldred as the leader of the Mageseekers after his death.
