Crowley of the Gnostics, Firestarter, Bearer of the Divine Light
Those in Red Wizard Capital know Crowley of the Gnostics as the Firestarter. For nearly four decades he has climbed the north tower every day at dusk, lighting the way for those who dare sail The Salt.
ORIGINS
Four decades in Red Wizard Capital is enough to cement a legacy. But Crowley wasn’t always a red hat wizard. Did he earn his hat? Of course. Crowley trained, invested, and levered his way to the top; he hodl’ed harder than even the most notable of the Runiverse wizards.
I. TRUTH
Crowley was not a child of this city. Crowley wasn’t even born of the red hat clan. Rumor has it… Crowley was discovered as a baby. A baby drifting out of The Quantum Shadow, as quizzical an anomaly as Schrödinger's cat. And no—it wasn’t the nearby wizards of The Thorn who took him in… frightened as they should of his origin. It was the Gnostics of Goblin Town.
Fitting? A child from the land of the Great Burning finding his way to the Gnostics, those who follow the Divine Light? Who worship Magic power from within? It is, after all, the Sacred Flame that fuels the Great Burning. The most powerful of all Divine Light. Even more powerful than the Chroma Crystal, another source of the great Divine Light in the Runiverse.
- COURAGE
How did Crowley, with an enigma of a beginning, come to Red Wizard Capital? It was in studying and staying true to his faith that Crowley found his path.
While the Sacred Flame was out of his reach (only held by the old guard), Crowley decided he would venture to find the Chroma Crystal. He would be one of the first in centuries to track down the Holy Arcanist Illuminus of the Heavens. The Gnostics believe the Chroma Crystal held by Arcanist Illuminus to be one of the purest forms of the Divine Light: able to summon the godliest Magic power short of the Great Burning.
- FAITH
Crowley, with nothing to lose, left the care of the Gnostics at an early age. With faith in front and only emptiness behind, he ventured for decades through the Runiverse. No one knows quite where Crowley went. In telling of his travels, Crowley emblazes on for hours, with fire in his eyes. He offers only ominous tales of odyssey. Treacherous side quests with his newfound red snake.
- POWER
But Crowley came back with more than stories—he has the power to summon forth great fire. Since his return, Crowley lives illumined by the flame.
Without certainty, it is believed that he derives this from Magic; from his understanding of the Divine Light, witnessed through the Chroma Crystal. To the Gnostics, he is known as Bearer of the Divine Light.
It is this great power, the summoning of the Magic flame, that brought vast wealth to Crowley. It enabled him to earn his red hat and forge a prosperous path in Red Wizard Capital. This Magic flame is the fire that he uses to light the north tower of the capital each day.
While fire is effortless, Crowley’s mind wanders. He grows restless.
He knows his true destiny is to stay strong to his faith… to spread the Divine Light beyond the Red Wizard Capital and The Salt.
