Shard Program

The shard program is a magic program of Drannith, in which members of the Coppercoats that show great prowess and talent are taught in the ways of magic and strategy. Each shard spends about a year studying magic and strategy within the Drannith Alirion Academy. The students are then "graduated" and become Shards, which are then assigned to a squadron of Coppercoat soldiers. The Shards act as advisors to the Captain of said squads, and use their magical prowess to help the soldiers survive their encounters. The Shards can then be selected at any time, based on captain recommendations, to fill positions in Drannith, either becoming legendary stingers, or many other positions serving under the Head Mage, Larius Krom.
