Inheritors of Divine Blood
Sorcerers in Eldara are born with an innate connection to The Aetheric Weave (Magic), their magical abilities flowing directly from divine bloodlines rather than study or spiritual discipline. Most sorcerers trace their lineage to the The Aevari—particularly Pyrael, Aevari of Fire, Valora, Aevari of Water, or Galeon, Aevari of Air—whose divine essence courses through their veins as a living inheritance. They are vessels of raw, uncontrolled divine energy, making them both blessed and dangerous in equal measure.
Good-Aligned Sorcerers: Blessed Inheritors
Divine Connection: Good sorcerers embrace their inherited power as a sacred gift, using their abilities to protect, heal, and serve the greater good. They often feel a deep connection to the Aevari whose blood flows in their veins.
Common Bloodlines and Worship:
- Draconic Bloodline - Often worship Pyrael, Aevari of Fire for noble transformation and protective power
- Divine Soul - Connected to Zyren, God of Life or Ithara, Healer of Sorrows through miraculous healing bloodlines
- Storm Sorcery - Descended from Galeon, Aevari of Air, worship him for freedom and change
- Aberrant Mind - Rare good sorcerers who have an innate connection to Alvoryn, Keeper of Dreams , and use their power to protect against cosmic threats
Practices: Serve as protectors of their communities, healers who channel divine essence, and champions who use their volatile power to defend the innocent despite the risks.
Evil-Aligned Sorcerers: Cursed by Power
Divine Connection: Evil sorcerers view their inherited magic as proof of their superiority over “lesser” mortals, or have been corrupted by the volatile nature of their uncontrolled power. Some trace their bloodlines to darker sources.
Common Bloodlines and Worship:
- Draconic Bloodline (Chromatic Dragons) - Connected to Pyrael, Aevari of Fire’s destructive aspect, may worship Akrath, God of Desolation
- Shadow Magic - Bloodlines touched by corruption, often worship Karash, God of Corruption or Nythera, Weaver of Nightmares
- Aberrant Mind - Corrupted by dark influences, serve Vyrr, Patron of Forbidden Arts or Nythera, Weaver of Nightmares
- Wild Magic - Chaotic sorcerers whose power serves Malikar, God of Discord
Practices: Use their power for personal gain, domination of others, or serve dark masters who promise to help them control their volatile abilities.
Neutral Sorcerers: Seeking Balance
Divine Connection: Neutral sorcerers focus on understanding and controlling their inherited power, viewing it as a natural force that transcends simple morality. They seek to master their abilities without being consumed by them.
Common Bloodlines and Worship:
- Storm Sorcery - Connected to Galeon, Aevari of Air, embracing change and natural cycles
- Wild Magic - Accepting chaos as part of natural order, may honor Ralos, God of Decay for inevitable change
- Clockwork Soul - Rare bloodlines seeking perfect balance
- Sea Sorcery - Descended from Valora, Aevari of Water, following natural tides and currents
Practices: Serve as scholars of their own bloodlines, mediators who use their power neutrally, or hermits seeking to master their volatile gifts in isolation.
Bloodline Origins and Cultural Perception
Aevari Bloodlines:
- Fire-Touched (Pyrael’s lineage) - Passionate, creative, prone to dramatic displays of power
- Storm-Born (Galeon’s lineage) - Free-spirited, unpredictable, connected to weather and change
- Tide-Blessed (Valora’s lineage) - Adaptive, intuitive, capable of profound empathy or crushing indifference
- Stone-Hearted (Feron’s lineage) - Rare, enduring, magic tied to earth and growing things
Cultural Views: Sorcerers are seen as both blessed and dangerous across most cultures. Their power is undeniably divine in origin, but its volatile, uncontrolled nature makes them unpredictable. Some kingdoms welcome them as proof of divine favor, while others fear them as walking disasters waiting to happen.
Innate Magic and Divine Essence
Unlike other spellcasters who must learn to access The Aetheric Weave (Magic), sorcerers carry fragments of it within their very blood. Their magic is potent but prone to volatility—they can channel more raw power than wizards but with less precision and control.
The strength of a sorcerer’s abilities depends on the purity of their bloodline, their emotional state, and their relationship with the divine source of their power. Their magic flows like a river, sometimes a gentle stream, sometimes a devastating flood, but always moving according to forces beyond complete mortal control.
