The College of Whispers is one of the two successor organization to the now defunct Mages Guild, thier counterpart being the Synod. The Synod have research into Necromancy banned just like the Mages Guild, and Conjuration banned due to the Oblivion Crisis. The College of Whispers in response concentrates on those two fields as a counterbalance to the Synod. Though both are successors to the Mages Guild, Jzargo describes them as simply being more politically oriented than reseach and Magic oriented.
