Silver Sorcery
Channel arcane power into your weapons as a graceful spellfencer
The noble clans of the northern vale are known for their innate connection to magic. Most famous of their elite families however are the House Ardhel, or “Silver-tongue” in common speech. For whenever a particularly loud dissident of House Ardhel arises The Vale, it is only a matter of time until one their dancers descends upon them.
Sorcerers of the silver lineage inherit the most gracious of the vampiric bloodlines, their blood literally turning silver underneath moonlight. Most touched by the lineage live normal lives, thinking their silver iris’ little other than a birthmark, but with tutelage and patience, the power within can become a terrifying marriage of spell and steel.
Perhaps you were born to one of noble houses that practice the vampiric magic, or were you simply descendent of one. Maybe the moon goddess herself graced you with her presence, granting you the same power that was once granted Percival so long ago. However you acquired this power, the night reveals it’s potency.
