The Esowyc Magic System is detailed
here.
|
|
NOTE: The Order of Esow (EE-sue) is a guild of spellcasters that teaches
a variant of the Spellweaving Magic System. Individual members of the Order are
called Esowyc (ee-SUE-eek) singularly and collectively. The term for Journeymen
in the native tongue of the Order is Ungolion (oon-goal-EE-on).
|
|
Esowyc are members of the Venerable Order of Esow, an indepent organization whose
membership endeavor on their on the behalf of both themselves and their Order.
|
|
A powerful organization in their own lands, the Order has both political clout and
all the authority great wealth often commands. Members of the Order are brought
in as children, frequently from poor families or orphanages, and trained from young
adulthood in the Mysteries of the Order. Eventually the young Initiates rise to
the rank of Apprentice and take a tour of many different Esowyc Order Houses, before
being elevated to the Rank of Journeyman.
|
|
Journeymen are the workhorses of the Order, being assigned to a number of necessary
but not always safe or pleasant Roles where they toil on the Orders behalf until
they elevate themselves to the Rank of Master. Journeymen wear practical sturdy
black robes, a black pointed brimmed travel hat, carry a black leather wrapped metal
components pouch, and carry a black oak staff with silver end caps.
