Lore
Our gracious Lord, in His eternal wisdom, calls forth a tournament. All the mages are to compete for the glory of a fair duel with our immortal Lord, a chance to win his crown and throne... Every thousand years since the ascension of our most generous Lord, a tournament is held. 'Tis a great opportunity to clear the tensions between the mageocracy and the Church of Eternal Rule... Everyone who fails to attend the tournament will be executed... |
The High Priest, Essays Honoring the Lord, 5563 After Ascension
I write these words into stone, as it cannot be burned. It took us hundreds of years to learn what we once knew... They call it eternal wisdom; I call it deceit. They call it a tournament; I call it a slaughter... Tomorrow it begins, and the day after, the only magic left in this world will be his. |
