The Aduro

I pledge myself to the World.

I will hold no title, and claim no lands.

No man may command me, save my Master.

My Power will not be used for profit.

I will answer a true need without hesitation.

So a Mage vows. But not all Mages. For not long ago the land of Penmar was under the tyranny of Baron-Mage rule, and the dark echoes of those days still sends shadows into the land. Tamarind Bell carries the scars of those shadows, and has sworn to fight the darkness with all the magic at her command. But when an ancient amulet of immense power is discovered, she may find the price to pay to keep light in the World is more than she has to offer.
