Last Friday's game started out chaotic! No strong start à la Sly Flourish, because I wanted to give the PCs freedom to decide where to go.

Another wizardly order in Belswick. These Orders exist to control the commoners that are taught dangerous magic (the First and Second Estate would never sully their hands with it). There are reasons why wizards only know spells of levels 1 through 6. The Augurs and Diviners use their insight to help the crown and steer commerce. Meanwhile they secretly look for higher circles of power. | thethingswedoforxp.blogspot.com

Also: playing nice with Orcs, saving young love and getting adopted by a Roc.| thethingswedoforxp.blogspot.com
