Magic Made Manifest
Scions of innately magical bloodlines, sorcerers embody the raw power of arcane magic, infused into their very beings by birth, heritage, or cosmic accident. Sorcerers are as varied as the sources of their magic, whether they descend from dragons, carry the blessing of a deity, or bear the remnants of planar interference. On Oerik, these magic-touched individuals represent the living bridge between the mundane and the extraordinary, drawing on inner reserves of arcane energy to perform feats that most mortals can only dream of.
Sorcery is not a new phenomenon on Oerik; it traces back to the early Suel Imperium, where it flourished as the primary form of arcane magic before the rise of wizardry. The Suel saw sorcery as both a tool for conquest and a mark of divine favor, with many noble houses proudly claiming sorcerous bloodlines. However, in the modern Flanaess, sorcery is both revered and feared. While some see sorcerers as gifted saviors or mystic guides, others view them as dangerous wild cards, prone to unleashing chaos if their power goes unchecked.
Sorcerers’ roles vary widely across Oerik’s cultures. In the untamed lands of the Dry Steppes or the Rovers of the Barrens, sorcerers might be seen as shamans, conduits to the spirit world. In places like the Great Kingdom of Aerdy, however, sorcerers often find themselves feared and ostracized, their uncontrolled magic perceived as a threat to the rigid order of the state.
