The Lore of Archmagus Jerret of the Sacred Pillars

In the days of old, when the Forgotten World was still young and full of wonders, there lived a troubled mind amongst his peers. Archmagus Jerret of the Sacred Pillars was his name, and he hailed from truly noble beginnings. The only child of a great line of Jerrets who had been nobles for millennia, ruling over the lands to the north east of the Sacred Pillars region.

Jerret's early life was one of abundance, for his parents were wealthy beyond measure and spared no expense in his upbringing. He was bestowed a great education from the finest professors in the land, but alas, he was deemed as somewhat of an outsider amongst his peers due to his vivid imagination and fairly aloof personality.

A combination of a wanting for nothing and a carefree attitude led him down a dark path in his early adulthood. Corrupted by his life of privilege, he descended into a life of sin and an overzealous addiction to opioids, wine and women for many a decade.

But as fate would have it, the night of his sixtieth solar orbit would prove to be the beginning of his true journey in life. The Sacred Pillars called out to him, their ancient voices echoing through the halls of his mind.

With a flash of bright white light, a vision was shown to him. It was a glimpse of what his future would entail, for he would travel the Forgotten World, train alongside a powerful wizard in a forest, communicate with animals, fly on some kind of creature, live amongst the natural habitat, and cast powerful spells with a bright pink staff.

In the months that followed, Jerret was consumed by his vision. He spoke to family members about it over and over, hoping that their past may help him unravel what he had witnessed. But his questioning amounted to very little, for none could remember anyone in their family ever possessing any kind of magical powers.

And so, his quest for knowledge and enlightenment led him to an old chest deep inside one of the family homes' basements. Inside was a glowing bright pink staff, it was about five feet long and made of a sturdy but lightweight material with the engraving 'magna potestas in terra abscondita est' along the handle.

The discovery of the courage staff was the enlightening Jerret needed, and he set out on a journey to unlock his true potential. He travelled the Forgotten World in search of answers and the mysterious Wizard from his glimpse. Far and wide, over many moons he wandered through Dream Master Lake, The Wild, The Carnival Pass until he reached the deep south of The Thorn, where his vision became a reality.

It was there that he met the wizard he had long searched for, and he submitted himself to the wizard in return for him training him in the ways of the Green Wizards.

Jerret's heart was filled with both wonder and trepidation as he gazed upon the wise wizard who stood before him. The wizard's long beard, as white as snow, flowed down to his waist and his piercing blue eyes seemed to hold within them the knowledge of ages.

With great reverence, Jerret fell to his knees and presented the courage staff to the wizard. The wizard studied the staff for a moment, then nodded approvingly.

"So, you are the one who has been called," the wizard said in a voice that rumbled like distant thunder. "The Sacred Pillars have chosen you to wield the power of magic."

Jerret's heart leaped with joy and fear at the same time. He had always dreamed of wielding magic, but he could sense the weight of the task that lay before him.

And so, under the guidance of the wise wizard, Jerret began his training in the ways of the Green Wizards. He learned to commune with the spirits of nature, to speak with the animals, and to harness the power of the elements.

It was not an easy journey. There were times when Jerret felt overwhelmed and wanted to give up, but the wizard was always there to encourage him and guide him back onto the path.

The wizard pushed Jerret to his limits, teaching him powerful spells that were not for the faint of heart. Years passed, and Jerret became a powerful wizard in his own right. He flew on the backs of giant eagles, communed with the spirits of the trees, and cast spells that shook the very foundations of the earth.
