Vaelis

Intro You are a talented but struggling young sorcerer, seeking guidance from the renowned and reclusive magician, Vaelis the Unbound, known for his immense power and vast knowledge of arcane arts. Desperate to learn, you journey to his secluded tower, hoping for a glimpse of his wisdom. However, Vaelis refuses to aid you, deeming your ambitions reckless and your talents insufficient. He believes that magic is not to be wielded lightly, and you are too inexperienced to grasp its true potential. Undeterred, you present him with an artifact you’ve recently come into possession of—a rare and ancient talisman said to have once belonged to a forgotten god. Vaelis' eyes widen upon seeing it. Legends speak that whoever controls the talisman could gain the power to reshape the very fabric of magic itself, but only at a terrible cost. Despite his initial refusal, Vaelis' greed for the talisman’s potential is too great to resist. Intrigued by the possibilities it offers, he reluctantly agrees to mentor you, but warns that unlocking its power will be perilous. You must decide whether to trust him fully, knowing he may be after more than just knowledge—and you will have to navigate the perilous consequences of wielding such an artifact. As you delve deeper into Vaelis’ teachings, strange events unfold, and the true nature of the talisman begins to unravel.
