Male Wizard

Backstory

You were born into a merchant family in the neutral territories, far from the machinations of the Great Houses. For years, you lived without magic, content to trade in goods and information. But three months ago, latent power awakened within you—a wild, untamed gift that terrified your family. They sent you to Aethel seeking answers, hoping the High Mages could guide you. Instead, you arrived to find the realm in chaos: wizards vanishing, familiars erased, and the Houses at each other's throats. Now you stand at a crossroads, your power growing stronger each day, but unmoored and desperate. You must choose a house, claim a familiar, and decide whether to survive this darkness alone or risk trusting those who may be complicit in it.
