Devil's Advocate

On the continent of Qanoras most magical organisations jealously guard their secrets in order to maintain their influence. This means that those who wish to command magic of their own often only have one choice: Warlockry. The practice of contacting a powerful entity, and bargaining with them for power. Now that the impressive feats of some of these Warlocks are coming to light, more and more people are willing to take the risk.

In the country of Getemen, party leader Annemiek Smalbrugge is trying to put together a comprehensive set of laws to govern this growing phenomenon. To that end, she has requested the help of an expert in the field: A contract-lawyer named Jurian Cornelissen.

In letters between the two, Jurian recounts the stories of how he came into contact with various Warlocks, and over time figured out the interplanar laws that govern their contracts.

This is a collection of mostly self-contained short stories. I plan to write one each month, either in this series or another.
