Overview

Magic. Learning it isn't as easy as it sounds. But when petitioning the local Wizard for an apprenticeship is the most popular practice among the other lads in the farming town of Kharathad, how can young Dogalas not be curious? At the end of his training comes the mandatory yearlong Journey of altruism in search of a new town to call home, and all too soon he's on his own in a world inhabited by dragons, bandits, trolls, and demons known as warlocks, who can use black magic to steal the life force of others, and who are making an unnatural comeback from their incorporeal realm of phantoms and nightmares. Only his inner strength and nobility will enable him to face these challenges, and as he delves further into the secrets of his past, the mysteries of his future, and who he's destined to be, he must maintain the zardor enough to still find the magic within.
