Arcomage

Trial of Towers

During a time long past, a traveler settled among the people of Shrikar. The traveler’s knowledge, skills

and power led them to believe that he was the chosen Emissary of the god Ceth. As time passed, the

traveler taught the people of Shrikar how to Weave, or shape the natural energy flows of their planet. The

Emissary also taught the basic skills of architecture and of controlling creatures of the land, improving the

way life for the people of Shrikar. An age of prosperity and enlightenment began and the people lived

better than ever before.

As the people of Shrikar continued to advance in their skill and knowledge of Weaving, the Emissary left to

continue his journey once more. To honor him and his teachings, the people created the Arcomage Guild; a

school dedicated to the knowledge that the Emissary brought to Shrikar. Graduation from this Guild

bestowed the title of Arcomage upon the worthy student, one who understood and excelled in the ways of

Weaving, of Control and of Building. The Golden Age of Shrikar had reached its pinnacle.

One hundred years after the departure of the Emissary, the first Arcomage War struck the people of

Shrikar. The Arcomage Crowhain assaulted the citadel of the Arcomage Ralbeard. The surrounding

countryside was laid to waste. Years after the war started, Ralbeard completely destroyed the citadel of his

enemy. The scars upon the world of Shrikar were slow to heal. Over the next five hundred years the people

of Shrikar would experience the wars of Arcomages hundreds of times, as mages strove to increase their

power and reputations.
