"...[name] stood in the [name2] Hall, a hundred peers watching from the galleys above. She called her Provider's name, and all could feel the power she commanded. [name3] summoned his wards, but all that watched knew his efforts were in vain. The next name she offered was his, and the misery of [name3] was legend."

translated from Dekàlan fragment found in ruins of Ilduùn

Book of the Sirkùli Aradas

Aradas mages were infrequently found in cities within Dekàlas.  The Aradas tower in Ildûn is reported to have been built for the sole purpose of the recognition of this ancient order among the other sirkùli.

The origins of sirkùla Aradas would eventually came to destroy them.  Whether the stories of the origin are true is a separate matter.  The Aradas mages claimed to have learned their arts from the Elve. While the Elve steadfastly denied this, claiming that mortals could not master their magics; it is also true that the Elve do not recognize the cross-breeds as Elve (though some have showed access to the immortal arts).  It was further believed that members of sirkùla Aradas were of Elve blood.

During the Empire's decline, rumors circled that sirkùla Aradas were working with and for the enemy to orchestrate the Empire's collapse.  In the final years, all members of the school were hunted down and destroyed.  It is possible that some survived the Hunting, but unlikely that school's libraries and lore could have survived intact.  The Elve have never admitted to working with sirkùla Aradas.

Traditionally, the Aradas sirkùla wore white and green robes.  Though no one symbol can be found that represented this sirkùla, floral designs and flower wreaths were common in Aradas iconography.  The "eye symbol", although associated with the group, is one of hundreds of runes found among Aradas ruins.  It's original meaning and meaning are unknown.

Draga Aradas

Since no lore remains of Aradas teachings, it is difficult to know the magics wielded by this sirkùla.  Their professed learning of the Elve arts, would lend one to believe their magics were similar.  Elve magics were not unknown in the time of the Aradas, so any discrepancy between the two would have been noticed by their peers.  Since no remaining sirkùli records indicate that a disparity between the arts existed, it is assumed that they were similar, if not the same.

Elve magics concentrate heavily on the "natural" aspects of the Weave, and the existence of ley.  Ley are believed to be natural wells of strong magic whose locations are a guarded secret among the Elve.
