Elosirah, the realm of the eight elements. A land that was blessed with elemental magic
when the 8 Elder Dragons sought to create something all people of Elosirah could use.
To better life, to connect with the elements; Earth, Water, Air, Fire, Shadows, Sun, Moon
and Stars. Everyone lived in harmony; Dragons, Elves, Fairies, Mermaids, even the
Vampires, Werewolves and Orcs; everyone. In the beginning, there was no
overarching government, just likeminded people thriving together.

But of course, all good things are brought to an end by power-hungry people. A Shadow
Elf created her own kind of magic, dark magic, that went against everything the Elder
Dragons created magic to be in the first place. The Shadow Elf stowed herself away in the
darkest caves, to grow her power in the darkness of the shadows. She eventually
created her own curse, wrote it on a scroll and hid it in the depths of her lair. The curse?
Allows her to possess people through their shadows, control them like puppets. Never
once had their been a kind of magic that took someone's power to control their own
thoughts and body.

As the Shadow Elf grew more powerful, she shared her ultimate goal to her followers; to
plunge Elosirah into darkness, into eternal shadows. If she could achieve that, her and
her people would become all powerful, being the new rulers of the realm. Being able to
move in the shadows, the Elf was able to sneak her way to the dominion of the Sun Magic,
& blacken it out. Plunging the realm in darkness for an entire week.

The Elder Dragons came together, once again, to seal away the Shadow Elf and all
Shadow Magic for good. In order for the seal to be strong enough, the Shadow Dragon
sacrificed her soul, to act as the seal. It was with a heavy heart, but the other Dragons
knew it had to be done. Sealing Shadow Magic away for good was the only way to protect
Elosirah in the future.

That was 7000 years ago, and a lot has changed. There are now only seven elements,
Shadow magic is no more. The remaining Elder Dragons each constructed a kingdom,
expanding on their dominions as a way to protect their magic and create a sense of order
throughout Elosirah. There's been mostly peace and harmony throughout the land. That is,
until a certain trinket-collecting Elf stumbles across an ancient scroll? What harm could a
piece of paper possibly do?

Our story begins in in the heart of Medtralis, a tavern. Said trinket-collecting Elf brings
this ancient scroll to meet up with a friend of hers, someone who's helped her identify
and even price different treasures she's come across.

For one reason or another, our party finds themselves at the same tavern, minding
their own business. What could possibly go wrong?

NO.1 All RPN rules apply! A special
emphasis on no hate of any kind. I and
any mods I add in the future will have
the right to kick anyone who doesn't
adhere to this rule.
NO.2 Discord is a must! For one, I
have set up the lore to be in a discord
server & the ooc will be in discord as
well.
NO.3 This will be pretty advanced,
minimum of 4 paragraphs per post.
While it will be advanced, I anticipate it to
be a slower going rp, realistically i'd be
expecting about 3-4 posts a month from
writer ALONG WITH effective
communication. i 1000% how muse
fluctuates and how life gets busy, and i
am prepared to be understanding for
inactivity, all i ask is communication for
activity.
NO.4 Try to keep characters balanced!
Whether it's magic types, species, even
gender expression! I know there are many
rps that struggle with not enough
diversity within character roles, so keep
that in mind! This story will thrive with
more diversity! Also this is where I'm
choosing to say this rp is going to
require realistic faceclaims! If you are not
used to realistic faceclaims, don't worry!
I have a plethora of resources (& friends
with resources) to help find faceclaims!
NO.5 Once again, don't hesitate to reach
out with questions! either dm me here,
the lore link in this thread should lead to
the lore discord i have set up which has
a channel for questions, I'm all ears!

  hair colour

  
  

  Vale’s dark hair takes on a wavy, borderline curly appearance. It’s neatly styled, although after a long session scouring documents for information, it becomes rather messy and ran through.

  A cold, steel grey that appears black in most lighting

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  skin tone

  
  

  Vale’s complexion, true to the vampire stereotype, takes on a ghostly appearance. Blue undertones cool down his features, an aspect that allows his dark hair and eyes look even starker in their contrast.

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  misc

  
  

  Both Valerian’s upper and lower lateral incisors and canines are visibly sharp fangs. When he smells/tastes blood or feels threatened, his canines become slightly longer than his incisors and noticeably longer than any typical humanoid species.

  Vale never does well in first impressions. It’s not uncommon for a stranger to walk away swallowing back a sour taste in their mouth at his candidness. He is none the wiser, only realizing the sharpness of his responses when pointed out by another.
  
  Although it is never his intent to offend, his penchant for logic and truth make it difficult for Vale to empathize with others. Especially when that empathy comes at the price of muddying the reality of a situation. He has little room for dealing with petty games or liars, which translates most often to a sense of impatience. Vale has a short fuse, but his bite is rarely ever as strong as his bark. Although he may flare up quickly in intolerance, he cools down just as fast.
  
  Academically, Vale is obsessive. Confused often for perfectionism, he scours information he finds interesting in the hopes of digesting every single piece he can get his hands on. Rather than focusing on a scope of topics to have a well rounded sense of knowledge, Vale opts instead for narrowing in on several obsessive focuses often to the point of masochism. He will not let himself rest until he satiates his need for an answer.
  
  Under the surface, Vale harbors a sense of dread at his fate. Having witnessed first hand the mental decline and eventual shattering of his father’s sanity, Vale is far too aware of his similarities to his father. He’s already begun to experience the same symptoms as Magnus, the strong connection they share to moon energy allowing a mental clarity that is heavily reliant on such a connection. Since the scandal of his father’s psychotic break marking itself on his family name, Valerian has curated a guarded stance when interacting with others. He can seem quite reticent and stand offish, overanalyzing another’s intentions before he allows himself to open up. His obsession with research nurses his inability to be personable, spending the majority of his time alone, holed up in his study within Elosirah’s Library.
  
  ✧ Virtues: Observant, dedicated, logical, candid, clever, cooperative, intelligent
  ✧ Vices: Candid, obsessive/addictive, impatient, judgmental, stubborn, reticent
  ✧ Skills: Research/knowledgeable about many topics or obscure pieces of history, night vision, typical strength and speed of vampires
  Telepathy and illusionary magic ie: shapeshifting- Vale casts an illusion spell upon himself, using telepathy to alter his target's sensory receptors and change not only his appearance, but his voice, scent etc. to something else. His illusion magic only works on singular targets and is prone to many errors, he is still developing it
  ✧ Likes: Discovering new information, the smell of books, red wine, rainy nights, the quiet shuffling of papers and turning pages, solitude, his family, the smell of coffee
  ✧ Dislikes: hot muggy weather, liars, people who attempt to run him in circles, wastes of magic or energy, wasted potential, mornings, the prestigious dance that comes with interacting with others in academia
  
  ✧ What is your character's biggest fear?
  
  Losing his sanity to magic like his father. Vale exemplifies many of the same habits as his father; an obsessive thirst for knowledge to which he will go to masochistic extents to achieve, a strong connection to moon magic that leaves him vulnerable to doubt, fear for what his state of mind would truly be lest he lose such a connection. Vale feels his mental fortitude begin to slip at times when he spends late nights in the library, pouring over endless scores of documents and papers. It starts with a voice he thinks he has heard roaming through the stacks of shelves, then moves forward to a breath at his ear, a whisper speaking vile thoughts. The fear of his father’s fate is Vale’s cross to bear. It is a heavy influence on many of his decisions and the singular knot that keeps him from unraveling to the same end. He operates under the assumption of not avoiding it, but rather prolonging the inevitable.
  
  ✧ What is your character's biggest motivation?
  
  Knowledge and power. Aware that too much power or knowledge could bring about his end like it did Magnus, Vale’s obsessive tendencies and insatiable search for acquiring obscure knowledge or power drive him forward.
  
  ✧ How does your character feel about the discourse surrounding dark magic and shadow magic?
  
  Valerian, true to his academic nature, is rather fascinated by the historical events that shroud the elusive shadow magic. Living a painfully long life, he’s experienced many pieces of history, but the mystery of experiencing shadow magic, seeing it with his own two eyes, will always harbor a small itch within him. Contrary to this fascination, he views those left without their ability to connect with magic with disdain. He views their inability to access their magic as a waste to vast amounts of discovery left rotting in shadow magic's absence.
  
  ✧ How does your character feel about other elemental connections?
  
  His feelings are of pure curiosity. Vale studies other elemental connections quite regularly to analyze the approach and practices upon using them, hoping to apply it to his own magic.
  
  ✧ What are your character's feelings towards their Elder Dragon?
  
  Valerian used to view the elder dragon Seleneon with reverence. The amount of discovery and research able to be achieved under the dragon's rule was nothing short of extraordinary. Now, after his father's fate, he views the dragon with trepidation. Would Seleneon find out about Magnus' short usage of dark moon magic? Can he sense Vale's sanity slipping as well? Would he strike Valerian from his elemental connection and send him spiraling to the same fate as his father? When someone references the elder dragon, Valerian is quick to either change the subject or exit the conversation, the fear and uneasiness the topic arises a reminder of too many subjects he'd like to keep locked deep in his mind.

  history.

  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  
  
  

  Background

  
  

  
  
  
  

  Valerian was born to Magnus and Aurora Luther when they were both far too young to properly support a child. Although challenging, the pregnancy was not unwelcome. The couple were fledgling academics, finding home in Paetinum Hall in order to spend time building their careers. Thus, Vale grew up surrounded by academia. Too poor to afford childcare, his parents would lug the young vampire around to their study sessions, where they worked on papers or dug through research. The life of an academic rooted itself within Vale at a young age.
  
  Luckily, his father’s connection to moon magic was strong. Through his hardwork and what some may call borderline obsessive tendencies, he soared to the top of his field in academia. Magnus was known for treading new ground in telepathy. He had found a way through his studies to access the sensory receptors in another’s brain. His attempts and writings were how to hijack those sensory receptors to control what another was hearing, smelling, feeling, more so than just seeing, as typical illusion magic was accustomed to.
  
  With an affluent career now laid out before him and Aurora’s success in her research on emotional telepathy, the two were able to create a much more stable life for Valerian, and as soon followed, his younger brother Ciaran. The small family moved to Vesptio city to give Ciaran and Valerian more typical childhoods while their father commuted to Paetinum Hall.
  
  Vale never felt like he had much of a choice in the outline of his life. Before he could even walk, he had already grown used to the smell of old books lining the Elosirah Library’s halls. The calling to follow in his father’s footsteps was too strong for him to ignore, and when finally of age, Valerian found himself studying alongside his father at Paetinum Hall.
  
  It didn’t take Vale long to catch up to the level of his father’s studies, his habits just as obssessive and singularly focused. They treaded unknown territory side by side until Magnus’ sanity began to crumble. A strong connection to moon magic was like a blessing and a curse. It could bring great clarity of mind, but one that relied on the elemental connection. How was one to monitor their mental health if it was always blessed by the clarity of the moon? It started out with imagined voices or figures in the distance once Magnus began to run low on magic, the issue fixed quickly by spending a brief amount of time in the presence of the Clarentia Gem. Symptoms worsened when they began to appear too distant to be blamed on elemental exhaustion.
  The final break in his father’s sanity was during a plateau in their research. Dead end after dead end hammered into Magnus’ patience, every new lead Vale and his father could clutch to snuffing out before they could even experience the excitement of discovery. Their research was leading them nowhere. There was something--missing, some unknown piece that kept them from perfecting the new type of magic. In fits of insanity hidden from Valerian, Magnus resorted to the use of dark moon magic, convinced it would be the final push in fully linking telepathic and illusionary magic. Instead, it broke his mind. Valerian had rushed his father to the gem in the hopes to save him from his psychotic break, but it was to no avail. The Clarentia Gem could do wonders to bandage a wounded mind, but it was rendered useless in gluing together the shards of one long since shattered.
  
  His mother and brother moved their father to a small house in the woods located in the outskirts of Oralliv and Palusdum Town, hoping that the solitude and quiet would help ease his mind. News of Magnus’ mental break spread like fire through Paetinum Hall, leaving Vale to work against a massive black spot on his reputation. He kept his father’s use of dark magic a secret to protect what shred of respect the Luther name held in academia.
  
  It wasn’t until years later, when Vale was finally able to break through in his research and successfully create his first link in telepathic and illusionary magic that his reputation took a tick for the better. He began to hone in and refine this new type of magic, the discoveries that poured in leading to a blossoming career that he is still capitalizing on today.
  

  
  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  

  Current

  
  

  
  
  
  

  Currently, Vale continues to nurture his research and academic career. He travels every so often to different regions to pursue pieces of research, whether related to his main project or several side projects, or to give lectures and demonstrations on his newest form of telepathic and illusionary magic. With the income he receives from such work, he supports his mother and brother while they take care of his father in the countryside. He hopes to support Ciaran’s education should his younger brother choose to pursue a career in academics.
  
  Vale suffers from the same symptoms of insanity as his father, though he keeps it well hidden. His paranoia and hallucinations appear when he is low on elemental energy.

  Magnus Luther

  
  
  
  

  Valerian's Father

  
  
  
  

  A previously renowned academic in his concentration, now reduced to the countryside in his madness. It is rare for Vale to have a coherent conversation with his father, but he cherishes the small moments of clarity when they happen.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  Aurora Luther

  
  
  
  

  Vale's Mother

  
  
  
  

  Valerian's relationship with his mother is a healthy one, built on a childhood of respect and understanding, but he was always closer to his father. They both knew this. She worries for Vale, seeing in him the same traits that ultimately brought about her husbands demise.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  Ciaran Luther

  
  
  
  

  Vale's younger brother

  
  
  
  

  Ciaran looks up to Valerian. He's never happier than when his older brother is home, telling him all the stories of his adventures and discoveries within Paetinum hall and abroad. Despite his reverence, Ciaran has no intent of living in or surpassing his brother's shadow. After seeing their father's decline, and now living with the shell of a man he has become, Ciaran prefers to follow the route of their mother, studying emotional telepathy and living a quiet life in academia writing papers. The hunger and obsession he witnesses in Vale causes him worry, one that he expresses from time to time.

History

• The youngest of 6 to fish monger parents, Lyriel was always a little odd. She talked a little too much. Always seemed to know secrets she shouldn't. It was all her parents could do to keep her focused on choirs and not from wondering off.
• Her connection to star magic was found out early, causing a sense of pride and relief for the Muphrid family when she was whisked off to Stellarium Nexus for training.
• She took to life at the Nexus very well. Her attention problems solved by engaging lessons on the application of magic. With like minded friends, she built up a confidence she lacked back home. She grew quite proficient with the gravity aspect of her magic, using it as a crude version of telekinesis in self defense training.
• Though showing talent for most subjects, where Lyriel truly shined was in divination. Even at the beginning, she could tap into her second sight to allow her to anticipate things just before they happened. With training, her sight expanded to further and further into the future. However, as her sight increased, so did the scope of possibilities. Visions of not only what were likely, but also the improbable flooded her mind. Early sessions could leave her in an almost catatonic state as she dealt with sensory overload. As she got more use to it, she learned that she at times needed to "blur" the vision to allow her to retain the knowledge in her mind and not overload it. She would later coax the means out through drawing and messing around with tarot cards to allow her subconcious to fill in the blanks.
• As Lyriel got older, some of the darker preminions began to change her. Seeing how destruction could come despite the Elder Dragon's guideance and actions (even because of it, in some possible futures) soured her view of these beings. Though she kept up an act of obedient and content seer, she was fully prepared to ignore the elder dragons' decries if she found it necessary.
• Recently, Lyriel's dreams have been turbulent. Darkness and shadows swallowing the world appear in many of the possibilities before her. In others, the world is saved, but much of the magic is sacrified as shadow magic had in order to save stop the dark magic, but the world is left feeling hollow with their loss. Among these desturbing futures, Lyriel saw one perfect path forward. One where not only was the world saved, but mistakes of the past were made right. Armed with an incomplete cypher of how the future should go, Lyriel takes her leave of Stellarium Nexus and goes out to find the faces that keep popping up in her visions...

Some things to keep in mind as you create
your character's cs:
✧ How does your character feel about
the discourse surrounding dark magic
and shadow magic? - She thinks that locking such knowledge away is foolish. Dark magic will get out again, and precious few will know how to properly combat it, thus give Dark Magic even more of a chance to overwhelm the world. Likewise, the loss of Shadow Magic is a loss of a part of the world. Locking it away was a stop gap measure that has lessened the world.
✧ How does your character feel about
other elemental connections? - All elements are part of a harmonious whole. While traits associated with some can be bothersome, they serve a purpose.
✧ What are your character's feelings
towards their Elder Dragon? - Well meaning, but a doddering old fool none the less.

•Self-pity


✧ What is your character's biggest fear? -- To be taken by the insanity of the dark. Some may call it superstition, but even gnolls feel the stigma upon themselves towards themselves. They still believe that the darkness can corrupt a mind against its will. Those without magic are considered most vulnerable, as it is deemed that the shadow souled are already halfway there. Being shadow souled himself, Torrk does fear. He's seen their kind, the twisted ones. The dark tribes. He's felt the temptation, in moments of bleakness, and it is a horrible thing to consider in retrospect.

✧ What is your character's biggest
motivation? -- Torrk seeks fullness. All his life made to feel lesser because of his inability to wield magic, because of what he is. Told that he isn't right. Or something is wrong with him. Throughout his life he has sought to fill that void in himself. To be recognized as something more than as a gnoll or shadow souled or magicless inconvenience. He wants to be more. He doesn't exactly know what they fullness is or what it feels like, just that he'll know it when he finds it. So he will strive to be better. Every day. And look for it, every day.

Spoiler: History

History:
A shadow souled. Those born with the corruption in their blood. Those born without magic. Like many others of his kind, when Torrk reached adolescence, and no longer needed to be the care of his mother to survive, he was cast out of the tribe with his family name stricken from him. He was given the traditional parting mercy, a newly sharpened spear, a full waterskin, and few days of food. It was a break farewell, they always were. The tribe would turn their backs on him, not even watching him leave.

He would eventually find the shadow tribes, being adopted in, but it was not a particularly nice existence. Few were willing to trade with the shadow souled, and raids from the dark tribes were common and brutal. It was the life of scavengers. Making due with what little they could find, and fending off the raids, tribal politics. Torrk, hating this, left. This hollowness was not for him.

He left the tribe and wandered. Meeting other tribes. Both shadow and dark. There were dangers, but he persisted, until he deemed that perhaps he could escape the hollowness away from the tribal lands. He braved a path towards civilization.

It was quite the culture shock, at first. Little more than an urchin amongst the beggars, he began to learn. Learned to read, and talk proper. Learned from the little jobs he took to earn a bit of food or some hay to sleep in. He found jobs in caravans, and traveled. When he came to a town, he found work and learned something new if he could. From town to village, and farm to plantation. City to bigger city. He was never in one place for long.

Such was his life. He learned to swing a sword and draw a bow. He learned to dance. He learned cook. He learned to sail a ship and ride a horse. He learned to make beds and make barrels and make shoes. A little bit of everything. He even learned how to cut hair, during a horribly boring month as a barbers apprentice. He was a mercenary, and guarded caravans. He was in battles and raids and a war. He was even once in a rebellion. He met good people and bad people, people who liked or hated him. He even found love a couple times, though they never worked out.

He did many things. But no where he stayed, and nothing he did ever felt... right. And staying in one place for too long always reminded him of how not-right he felt. So it was that this became his way of life. A wayfarer, though the more flowery tongues might call him an adventurer. He knows there is something out there that is right for him, and he intends to find it.




✧ How does your character feel about the discourse surrounding dark magic and shadow magic?
●~ Many if his kind were either enticed or coerced into the forces of darkness, even all these generations later the scars of this have never truly healed among the gnolls. To Torrk, he doesn't see the difference between the shadow and the dark. The darkness may have tainted all elements, but it fully consumed the shadow. The shadow is an evil magic, just as those he has seen that worship it among the dark tribes.


✧ How does your character feel about other elemental connections?
●~ Envy, perhaps. That they all seem to have something that makes them full, and a purpose. Aside from that, he has had to look at them from a pragmatic angle, in that without magic they can blast him away pretty easily. This unbalance has lead him to train and grow strong, so that when he to fight against the magicked, he can at least have a fighting chance.


✧ What are your character's feelings towards their Elder Dragon?
●~ A mix of disdain and a begrudging respect. He feels that Umbriax is partly responsible for the rise of dark magic. That she should have been able to stop it. However, he will also admit that she did make the sacrifice to stop it in the end, even if many with the bitterness of being without magic. A long generational hurt, perhaps unjustified, but at the same time... shadow magic was her responsibility. Torrk is not entirely sure if she made the right or wrong decision.

Renaurus the Goblin, Regent of Mathematics and Dirt

​

Spoiler: General

✧ Name - Renaurus Piper ("Ren" to his friends)
✧ Age - 18
✧ Species - Goblin
✧ Elemental Connection - Earth, technically, but for now he only has power over dirt
✧ Gender Identity and Pronouns - Male, He/They
✧ Sexuality - Gay
✧ Place Of Birth - Undtrae City, not far from Exovant Grove
✧ Occupation - Accountant
✧ Alignment - Neutral Good

Spoiler: Appearance

✧ Description - Renaurus is a goblin. His people are distant relatives to orcs and trolls, and are often typecast as a frail and tribal race. In truth, goblins are incredibly diverse and often intelligent and worldly, and most stereotypes arose centuries ago when goblin lands were first invaded and plundered by traveling humans and elves. The goblin warriors who fought back were viewed as barbaric and cruel, wearing animal skins and riding wolves, with crude stone weapons and their teeth filed to points. In the hundreds of years since, peace has been established between nearly all sapient races of Elosirah; in general, goblins are just as modern and learned as anyone else may be.
✧ Height - 4 foot zero
✧ Weight - About 60 pounds, skinny for a goblin; another 40 pounds with his massive backpack
✧ Hair - A mess of thick amber hair, brushed forward and from left to right, not quite long enough to cover his eyes
✧ Eyes - Hazel
✧ Skin Tone - Greyish brown, a dusty earthen color
✧ Misc - He has the large ears and prominent nose typical of most goblins, with a small gold earring in either ear. He wears newly bought clothes of blended fabrics in muted colors that are specially made to be breathable yet durable, and a simple brown cap that fails to cover his mass of unkempt hair. Like many goblins he goes barefoot for comfort, with his feet wrapped in thick strips of cloth for protection. Though he can see in the dark better than some races, his vision is generally weak and he often wears a pair of goggles with curved lenses when he's not reading or writing.

Spoiler: Backpack

✧ He shoulders a massive backpack about as tall as he is, containing many things he thinks he may need on a great adventure, including: a coil of rope, a grapple hook, an extra set of clothes, an oil-sealed rain coat, a pair of boots, blankets, towels, a small plush pillow, a bedroll, pots, pans, utensils, candles, a box of first aid supplies, a fancy abacus, a less fancy utilitarian abacus, books of mathematics, books for pleasure, books of mathematics for pleasure, carbon sticks, a pen, an inkwell, a blotter, a sheaf of writing paper, a roll of much softer paper not meant for writing, pouches of seeds for planting, seeds for eating, seeds that just look neat, and a special dagger given to him by his parents.

Spoiler: Dagger

The sheath is plain and unremarkable. The dagger is as long as his forearm and gilded in dark steel. The body is made of a rainbow of pieces of glass, from red at the crossguard to purple at the tip, a stained glass window in the form of a blade. It is said to be blessed by the Wardens of the Earth Dragon and much stronger than it looks. It's probably just coincidence that it looks exactly like a stock of fancy souvenir daggers that recently showed up at his family's shop.

Spoiler: Personality

✧ Virtues - Kind, intelligent, imaginative, resourceful, charitable
✧ Vices - Lazy, cowardly, physically and magically weak, too trusting
✧ Skills - Darkvision, very agile, excellent with mathematics
✧ Likes - Math, sunrises, insects (especially moths), chocolate
✧ Dislikes - Classism, heights, cats, vegetables, the unknown
✧ Greatest Fear - Never living up to his potential, and being alone and shunned for his weak magic
✧ Greatest Motivation - Adventure!

Spoiler: History

Renaurus has lived his entire life in Undtrae City, not far from Exovant Grove and the Giaundtrae. His parents are allomancers and run a tourist shop selling metal trinkets and souvenirs to the thousands of earth-attuned visitors that pass through in the growing months. Shrewd merchants, they pushed him to study finance at an early age, but Ren lacks the powers they wield over metal. In fact, Ren barely shows any magical ability at all, only able to exert slight control over the dust and dirt from the earth. He has a job at a local accounting firm, where he believes he has made friends with some of the other clerks his age. Far more powerful than him, they call him Dirt and laugh, and he laughs back. He has no siblings and no friends outside of work, and spends his free time alone, reading and writing, creating stories where he's hailed as a great hero and champion of Gaiastra the Verdanheart, Elder Dragon of the Earth. Ren was raised to beware shadow magic, and grew up hearing stories every night of how the great dragons locked away the darkness lest it consume the world. He has heard tales of people with power over the six other realms of magic, but he has never actually met any of them in person. He is incredibly curious, but wary, for what's the use of magic if it's not drawn from the land itself? And now, there are whispers of others with seemingly no magic at all...
