Sorcerers and warlocks would basically be considered renegades. There is literally an entire book about this call The Wizards' Conclave set during the age of mortals and the main character of the book named Coryn starts out as a sorcerer before being turned down an eventual position of leadership for having practiced it first before becoming a wizard. Additionally the villains of the book are two sorcerers using primal magic to try and destroy one of the Towers with a magical artefact. The moon gods are explicitly clear in this book that they consider primal sorcery blasphemy and dangerous and it comes directly from their mouths.What I've chosen to do in my games is this: I basically had Palin Majere decide to rebuild the Academy of Sovery in an effort to sort of help wayward and confused sorcerers (ala X-men) and play up sort of a rivalry/uneasy truse that could easily turn into a magical war between them and the wizards. Basically the only reason they don't outright declare every sorcerer a renegade if they refuse to learn magic the "proper" way is due to respect for Palin, whom used to head the white order for a time. Frankly I think it's a far more interesting faction dynamic that i recommend people look into and consider instead of what is likely to happen: wotc just saying "yup, just pretend sorcerers have been here the whole time guy and they are part of the religious extremist Order that tries to keep a monopoly on magic. Wait, disregard that last part, the Mages of High Sorcery are fun! jangle keys 'member Raistlin?"</blockquote>
