Both posters detail how to find your way to the town that both factions call home. So it appears you have found two very distinct organizations and a new place to go. As to why you go and what faction you end up joining is your story to tell in time.

Introduction

Hello, this is an idea that me and my friend have been working on for awhile. If this takes off like I hope it does then it will be my first time being a GM. Not to worry though, my friend who will be Co-GMing has done this a few times, so I'm sure it will run smoothly. This roleplay should be very fun and I hope you can tell your friends and we will all have a lot of fun! If you like this please comment and ask questions, me or my Co-GM will reply as fast as we can. 
(Co-Gm here, Name's Kronshi. I'll be supplying details inside of these parentheses)

Okay so for our skill system we will give new characters 3 points to put into skills of their choice. This is NOT a table top game we just want to have an effective limiting system because some players will take things too far. What you will do is while making your character, you will put points beside the skills.
EXAMPLE: Fire Magic = 1 

Slashing: This affects weapons such as Swords, Axes, and Kamas. Your average knightly weapons will fall here.
(This increases your capabilities with slashing weapons like the ones listed above.)

Piercing: This will deal with weapons such as Spears, Daggers, Rapier. Your typical rogue weapons or people ripper throughers will be here.
(This increases your capabilities with piercing weapons.)

Bludgeoning: This will affect weapons such as Hammers, Maces, and Clubs. You ever wanna smash someone to a bloody powder? Then put skill points here.
(You get it by now, yeah?.)

Two Handed: This will affect your big weapons such as Great Swords, Pole-arms, And War-Hammers.

(Like water but frozen. It can still heal if you want it too.)

(Similar to earth but less moldable although sharper)

Lightning Magic: Snap Crackle POP Fizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
(What he said.)

Nature Magic: Ever vine whip a man to submission?
(This allows you to control plants in order to whip a man into submission)

As you put ranks into a magical skill, you will gain spells tied to that element. You are allowed to create your own spells and effects written like the example below. Yes, we will have a mana system so that your mage does not go around slinging fireballs at everyone who stares at him funny. You do not create the mana cost, me or my Co-GM will tell you the cost because once again No Fireballs at random strangers you murderer you.
Fireball (Lvl: 1)
I conjure a ball of fire at my target
Mana cost- ???

Below is a template that will explain how many spells of each level that you will have based of your ranks, if you put ranks in multiple magical skills than you gain spells from each one.
Rank 1:
-One Level 1 Spell
Rank 2:
-Two Level 1 Spells
Rank 3:
-Two Level 1 Spells
-One Level 2 Spell

Aspect-less are mages that have no elemental ties. They have no strengths but also no weaknesses. Aspect-less must put all of their ranks into being an Aspect-less since their magic is always growing and any straying off the path will lead to their magic overwhelming them and eventually killing them.
