Humanity in its early days struggled against the foundations of powerful civilizations that had been for centuries before them. It was only through the gift of magic that they were able to put their stake in the worId which became the first human city, Ithradine. From here they thrived until four tribes joined the infant kingdom each skilled in one of the four base magics, Pyromancy, Geomancy, Hyrdomancy, and lastly Aeromancy. These four 'families' became the main aristocracy and when the king died without an heir, he left in place a system to allow them all to keep power called the Magistrate. The Magistrate is led by a 'Magister' who is elected among the citizens however only the four families have ever gotten to have magisters. In this kingdom called Arcana, the four families, House Pyrane, House Oceanus, House Windel, and House Terra, keep a strained peace with the newest magister being Jerrick of House Pyrane. He leads Arcana on the path of war against the many monsters that lie beyond the ctiy's walls. Any adventurers are now given a guardian should they chose to leave the kingdom. You are one of many citizens within the kingdom, how will you make your mark upon it and the many races in and around it?

The mysterious man is busy examining the demon you slew, a dark purple mist-like aura begins to flow from the creature to the man "Just making a with-drawl so if you would excuse me I have a lot of paperwork to complete." he says with a small, mischievous grin as he stands up and looks around at all the fallen before catching your eyes. His mouth is covered by a black cloth, his short black hair spiked upwards with a very large sword sheathed on his back
"You can't save a life, you can simple hold onto it, and more lives you hold onto the more chance for something to go wrong, but, in my experience, It's more than worth the chance. And shaping a life can be hard, i know, I've already been through one." i say as i smile at her, "Oh yea, what did you say the captured you for?" i ask as we ride.
Silver: Cisna listens carefully to what you say, returning a smile as you finish which slowly disappears after you ask your question "I only managed to hear small bits of information but it sounded like they wanted to use me as a conduit of some kind." she says "My people have a natural strong link to magic, even the youngest of our kind can wield it." she mentions as she closes her eyes for a moment "We see things other are blind to, notice what others miss or leave behind."
Silver: "It's alright" She lower her head slightly and smiles "More than that, I can see life where normal eyes cannot see, connections between the living beings of this world, events of great triumph as well as great sorrow. Where the barrier between this world and another is weak." She says with great pride "And when we touch another's hand, we can see life through their eyes but the mind is a dark place and it is very dangerous." she remarks
JACK: He chuckles a little "A collecter? Hmm, I suppose you could call me that...yes that would be appropriate." he squints at you as if looking for something from you "The name is Trayce, I collect souls of the fallen. This is Alice." he says. Alice waves with a bright smile "Hi, I like your hammer." she says in a excited, childlike tone to which Trayce responds with a sigh "Forgive her, she is not very 'bright' ."
Silver; She nods "Maybe I learn why they did this but we must stop. It will be..tiring for me." she says
JACK: Trayce simply grins as you summon the book of laws "Upstairs? That's a good one. No, I'm a private contractor if you will. These souls belong to me and me alone. Do not worry, I only take the ones with darkness in their heart or evil." he doens't seem all that afraid of you "Tis a same though, all these lives lost following a false god but I suppose that's what you get with fanatics." he shrugs indifferently
JACK: Trayce shakes his head with a small laugh "Those laws I'm afraid do not 'apply' to me. I probably know more about this than they do." he rips a shard of the dark metal from the demon's back and points to it "This right here, came from the forbidden dimension or as 'he' likes to call it 'Apocalypse', quite full of himself if you ask me.." he mumbles the last part "These souls do not go to the afterlife, no they go straight to him." he informs you
Silver: She grins "Only if you can keep up." She jokingly mocks as she whips the reigns once and give a slight kick to her horse which pushes them forward, her hair flowing backwards as she giggles a little
JACK: Trayce shrugs "Some call him the Bringer of the End others the Lord of Death, he's more like Lord of the Dead but try telling that to the fanatics." he says with indifference
Silver: Cisna turns back to make sure you are catching up, giving a grin as her horse races forward. There are several towns in the direction you are heading but it is also a unruly part of the kingdom, home to highwaymen and brigands.
