Rogue
Classes of the Realm · Grand Scholarium
Rogue
Rogues thrive wherever systems create shadows. In Auralis, those systems include patent law, sealed archives, bridge inspections, guild monopolies, student rivalries, black markets, and academic reputations worth more than gold.

How Aeloria understands this class
The word “rogue” can mean thief, investigator, smuggler, duelist, spy, locksmith, fixer, journalist, or student who understands that every rule implies a loophole. The Concordat trains specifically to catch reckless arcanists and clever criminals, which only makes clever rogues more valuable.
Practice and power
Rogues practice through timing, stealth, misdirection, precision, social reading, technical skill, and preparation. Some use clockwork tools, forged permits, hidden blades, or specialized lenses; others rely on audacity.
At the Grand Scholarium
At the Scholarium, rogues find work in the Inkward, the Sunken Archives, the Brass Kettle, student politics, research theft, legal investigation, and any locked door someone insists should stay locked.
