The Lore of Wild Mage Nick of the Cosmos

A place where the sun has no rays, behind the quantum shadow, on the edge of the realm lived an evil one, Wild Mage Nick of The Cosmos. Nick had been shunned from the land of the riches for the crimes blamed on his kind, the crimes of the sect.

Far in the mountains, as the days became weeks, weeks became months, and months became years, the wild mage was accruing knowledge. Away from hardly any living soul that’s all there was to do.

His lair was an old stone monastery nooked on the rugged mountainside. A structure from before our time, that seemed to have been forgotten. 1001 steps up the slanted stairs away from the blue lake below, the aging building was the only structure standing around these parts. He must have been there for the past 10 years he reckoned, as he stopped counting after the first 3. With him lived Amanita, a Fungus-headed wizard apprentice.

The evil one took the mushroom-headed wizard under its command when he ran away from the Capital. He found him lost in the thorns and has since then trained the mushroom into a wicked right hand.

One morning Nick made his way to the top of the sole tower. As he got closer to the top of the stairs he noticed a glow through the trapdoor. He climbed through and there it was. Floating in the middle of the watchtower was a flame. Nick couldn’t believe it, he had read about this. It was the flame of the forgotten soul.  The mage ran back down to his chamber where a big book laid open on a stand. It read: “As a dark soul passes through the heat of fire a flame shall burn one's flesh. Ascending the chosen ones to a higher self...”. The rest of the page was burnt away. Nick immediately felt a rush of power. This was his opportunity to take

back what was taken away from him. His wife, his land, and his life..

The preparations were underway. The wild mage knew that in order to call on the dark spell of the flame he needed to be able to control his magic. He wasn’t strong enough alone. Legends said that together a representative of each of the 7 political factions of the realm could balance out the incontrollable dark magic of the forgotten souls.

There was no time to lose as the day of the sacrifice was getting closer and closer. Once the blood moon would rise, he knew it would be too late.

Wild Mage Nick of The Cosmos and his right hand Amanita took to the road. They headed west out of the valley to meet up with old friends of Nick, 7 companions from a previous life.

Over the next months, Nick and Amanita travelled through the best and worst parts of the realm to hire each of the wizards. They all accepted the hefty reward promised by Wild Mage Nick. Ethers were promised for the wizards to come together. They are to unite their power and control the dark magic of the flame.

Nick needed to complete the prophecy and only with the combined magic of the 7 factions would Nick be able to pass through the Flame and become more than a forgotten soul.
