The common mage

In the Empire of Velmara, magic is a privilege of the noble elite, wielded by the prestigious Argent Mantle, the Emperor’s trusted arcane order. Commoners with magic are rare—and rarely welcomed. Bloodline determines status, and those without noble heritage face scorn, prejudice, and countless obstacles. Yet, opportunity and ambition drive many to seek a place among the Empire’s most powerful mages. Whether through loyalty, defiance, or manipulation, entry into the Argent Mantle is no simple feat. Will you rise within their ranks, challenge their traditions, or carve your own path in a world ruled by noble blood?
