"Victory stands on the back of sacrifice."
The kingdom of Edissa was peaceful and magic was very real. You could find it in every home, wizards traded their service for money, it was sold and bought in every marketplace. For some people, magic simply made their life easier - charms to keep their hair clean, enchanted brooms to automatically sweep for them. But for others, magic was an art that they dedicated their lives to cultivating. These are what we call wizards - and these wizards often joined guilds in order to fellowship with other wizards, trade secrets, find jobs or just be in good company. Life was well for these people.
That was, until, a guild war broke out across the land. Thousands lost their lives. Seventy years later, the magic council outlawed all guild activity, punishable by banishment to shadow island. Once again, peace was restored. The foundation of Edissa was weak, allowing a guild, Serpents Fury, to take over the council and wreak havoc on every home in the kingdom. What wasn't damaged by the war, was damaged by them.
Fast-forward 3 years and that's where our tale begins.
