Runechild

The mysterious weave and flow of magic is feared by many folk across Exandria. But while some spellcasters must study the essence and nature of magic in the hope of learning to harness it, Sorcerers possess an innate talent to sculpt and wield the errant strands of power that shape the world. For some Sorcerers, the body becomes a conduit for this power, which is collected and stored in the form of natural runes—and which sees a Sorcerer named as a Runechild. The talents of a Runechild are rare, and Sorcerers with this origin are sought after for study by mages and scholars alike, driven by a prevalent belief that the secrets of their runes can help understand the mysteries of magic. Others sometimes seek to enslave Runechild Sorcerers, using their bodies as tortured spell batteries for diabolic pursuits. Runechild Sorcerers were subjugated throughout the Age of Arcanum, and many of their contemporaries now search for ways to hide their essence—a task that isn’t easy given the revealing nature of their gifts.
