Mere decades ago, the land of Storm's End was nearly destroyed by a massive show of arcane force delivered by a cult of wizards, and while the perpetrators were stopped, distrust for all forms of magic (besides that which was granted by the gods) began to seep into the hearts and minds of the common people. Arcane magic was declared illegal, and all practitioners were either killed or imprisoned far, far away from anyone they might harm.
Some, however, do not take the mantle of magic on willingly, and must survive in a land that hates them for what they are. Some fight it. Some run from it. Some embrace it. This is their tale.
