The Wizards

As Ouroboros churns, humanity seeks to put its mark upon the dragons' scales. These efforts have led to art, music, poetry, philosophy, and the pursuit of knowledge. The story of humanity is written by these cultural expressions as great civilizations rise upon them. These masters of their craft come in many forms, but the most abstruse and elusive of these maestros are the Wizards.

​

Attempting to neatly describe a Wizard is often a task of futility. When one believes they have arrive at a definitive description, a new Wizards comes along to utterly confound it. One may as well attempt to define what "art" is and what it is not.

​

For instance, Wizards were once thought to be solitary, rural beings. They could be found in decades long meditation on mountain tops, sleeping in hollow trees deep within forests, or living in seclusion on tiny islands communing with crabs. But through the ages the iconic rural Wizard adapted to city life, and were found in dark back alleys or forever moving as a hooded figure on the road. They might seclude themselves in the depths of a library for weeks on end or occupy the abandoned laboratories of condemned sites.

​

And their solitary nature can turn on a flash, for they can find themselves leading great quests, lecturing graduates at prestigious academies, or as advisories at the head of nation states. They commune with kings and commoners, speak the languages of plants and animals, and have known worlds beyond the site of all.

​

While categorization of Wizards is difficult, there is one quality nearly all of them seem to share, and that is mastery of the Arcane Arts, aka Magic.
