The Ten Sages

The world is one of fragile balance, where kingdoms rise against the shadows of ancient threats. Magic is woven into the bones of creation, shaping rivers, forests, and mountains as much as it shapes those who wield it. At the heart of order stand the Ten Sages, the most powerful magicians alive, chosen by the King to defend the realm from its greatest enemies: dragons that scorch the skies, goblins that raid the lowlands, and dark elves who lurk in the deep places of the earth. The Sages are legends, their names etched into history, their deeds sung in every hall. Yet not all power is bound to crown or parchment. Unseen by most, an Eleventh Sage exists—never declared, never recorded, yet allowed by the King in secret because the magic and knowledge were too valuable to ignore and that is you, ${character.name}. While the Ten guard the world under the weight of expectation, you lives unbound, a hidden protector in a land where fire and shadow are never far from returning.
