| Name: | carina, a deserter. |
|---|
And in the 32nd year of the Horse, there was seen in the sky stars that fell from the heavens. Six, in total, to represent the reawakening of the magics in Pruvia — one of heat, for flames; one of growth, for healing and living things; one for decay, for disease and the turning wheel of death; one of illumination, for the art of prophecy so few mortal men understand; one of stone, for the stonesingers who are capable of great and terrible strength; one of the tide, for the families who capture lightning in jars and the wind in their knots.
| In a world where everyone is capable of using basic magic, if they study hard enough (wards for luck, for soothing pain; for a fast birth, for a peaceful night's sleep) the real magics, one of the Six, run in the blood. From the Wrynn Islands (where those of the tide live, who sail ships and coax winds like their friends, who are rumored to wife animals turned women, keeping their skins in a chest) to the village of Madrigan, where the harvest is abundant but the woods are not safe at night (and neither are the laughing, cooing voices that come from there), magic has re-awoken. Some Pruvians go lifetimes without seeing this; others, if they are lucky, see one. While magic makes for a prosperous land, one with its crime but no starvation, less disease, it is rumored that the Gods see fit to take Pruvia's magic away for the sole reason that it continues to make its people lazy, complacent, and thirsty for war. Up high in the mountains is The Hornet's Nest, a monastery that houses an organization that names itself the Red Hornets. Formed by the remaining magisters that saw the first magic of Pruvia be taken away, The Hornet's Nest train and learn to listen to the land until they are called. When the magic wakes, so does their task: to keep the peace, maintain the order, and to make sure magic is not taken again. A deserter of the Nest, Carina abandoned her post and status as wife-priestess in favor of vengeance. Magic has come to Pruvia again, and though her necromancy — gifted to her through in part by bloodline and in part from service to an Old God — is stronger than ever, she has locked most of her own talents away into five 'spell circles' she wears on a chain around her neck. Having seen now two Returns in her lifetime, Carina uses her status as outcast and deserter to be free to roam the forgotten wilds. There, she looks for answers: to break free of her service to Janus, the God of Death, and to lock magic away from Pruvia for the last and final time. Carina is much older than she appears, and is frighteningly cold to the touch. ( O , P R U V I A! | an original verse ) |
