Tome Icon Icon

"There is a cycle to all things. The beast feeds upon its prey, gaining strength. The corpse rots, nourishing the land. Life gives way to death, which, in turn, gives way to more life. Master this ebb and flow, and you will find you can manipulate both its gifts as well as the toll it demands!"
-Serena, Elven Wizard of Life
