Fable, Myhren's Spellbook

A journal of magykal power belonging to the dark sorcerer Myhren

Written by Sterrestel

Purpose

The documentation within this journal recounts all that Myhren has learned throughout their life. Whether for their own reference or another's, it is unclear. Their notes on various herbs, magyk, people and more are extensive; so much so that one cannot help but wonder who they truly were.

Document Structure

Clauses

With shifting pages and a scrolling table of contents, the journal itself is meticulously organized by people, plants, magyk, food, and more.

References

Hundreds of works are referenced throughout, with a scrolling source page in the back inner cover. From geography to politics, Myhren's immortality is hard to deny with the amount of information they have collected. Unless of course, you are a scholar that believes they are more than one person.

Publication Status

Myhren's journal is private, however, some have stumbled upon it in random locations for no apparent reason. When opened it seems to be empty of information.

Historical Details

Background

It is estimated that this journal is as old as Myhren: That is, nearly five billion years old. The mere fact that it has survived in such impeccable condition is proof of its powerful magyk.

History

A journal such as this one could have been used against the ruler before King Artwyn, if not for the protective enchantment protecting the inner contents. It is known, however, that Myhren referenced it many times throughout their life to heal the sick and wounded, as well as defend King Artwyn.

Public Reaction

Based on the ban of magyk in Caervyon during this time, it is likely that any who found this journal avoided it with disgust. Many would have been horrified to learn that Myhren possessed such an item, much less that they were magykal at all.

Excalibur

The Legendary Sword in the Stone:

Forged in dragon's breath, encased in stone, and kept by the lady of the lake, this blade has been through quite a bit. As the legend had previously stated, no one but Artwyn was supposed to wield this blade, however, it quickly became apparent that the sword had other plans. I had not realized its true potential until it began to slowly drive Artwyn to a point of madness. He became violent, erratic even, and in a clear moment of desperation, he bestowed it upon me.

In his hands, the blade had been simple. In mine, it transformed into a weapon of glass, seemingly delicate and easily shattered. Unlike with Artwyn, Excalibur seemed to take to me. I quickly learned it had a mind of its own, and our bond grew stronger. Excalibur hides itself as its more simplistic form when not in use. I assume it does not want to draw attention to itself, which I am perfectly fine with. It is much easier to travel without a very obvious, legendary blade strapped to your back.

Laws of Caervyon

Magyk

MAGYK BAN: As such, I have been forced to hide my strength from all others. Those caught or even suspected of using magyk are sentenced to death without care for reason or innocence. Although I may be able to escape, my choice is to stay close to Prince Artwyn and protect him from those who may cause him harm. He is a kind man; much more understanding than his father, and if he were to die there would be no chance for magyk to return in everyday life.

People of Caervyon

Artwyn

King Artwyn of Caervyon. Ward and lover.

Kyarrah

The Great Dragon. Master and lover.

Morgaine

Step-Brother Turned Revenge-Driven Enemy:

My younger step brother was not always so corrupted or cruel. He came along with me when I first arrived in Caervyon. We were both young, and naive. As one would expect of a story like this. Luckily [redacted] met us at the gates and ushered us inside. She knew our parents; our magykal DNA. She also knew we would be killed if anyone found out.

I took it better than Morgaine did. I could tell he was angry, even if he kept quiet about it. What I had no idea about, was how much that rage manifested. I continued to help [redacted] heal castle illnesses, while Morgaine sulked in his room and refused to come out. It was many circles of the story before he got truly cruel. He would spend hours in the library, sneaking in at night to search for restricted books on magyk and enchantments. I assumed he wanted to at least learn more, rather than stay cooped up alone, so I indulged him.

The first time I saw him act out was when a young druid found their way to us. King [redacted] had ordered they be put to death the next day, and Morgaine was furious. He came to me asking for help in aiding the druid in escape, and, seeing no other ethical choice, I agreed. Kyarrah warned me that the druid would lead to Artwyn’s downfall, and yet every single time I helped them escape. I hesitated the first few times, and Morgaine noticed. Even after I stopped hesitating, he seemed to resent me for it, even though I was certain he did not remember the past story circles.

As he improved in his magyk, so did I, with Kyarrah’s guidance. She provided me resources, and I picked them up quickly. Morgaine seemed jealous of this. I offered to teach him, but he refused. He wanted to learn on his own as I had. Although we both picked up magyk from all types of sources, he tended to use his power to wreak havoc and take revenge on those in power. I started to notice his absences more often, and it was not long before I found the first enchantment pouch hidden under Prince Artwyn’s bed.

I tried to reason with Morgaine, not once blaming him for wanting to take revenge on the King by taking his son, but he refused to listen.

After that particular circle, he grew more and more aggressive in his attempts. Around this time, Kyarrah warned me that I must choose between him and Artwyn. A choice I made rather easily, I must admit. I had grown close to Artwyn, even if he would never say so, and Morgaine had only grown more corrupt. Each attempt I thwarted enraged him more. I knew he would be caught, sooner or later. He framed me multiple times, brought in other enemies, but each time I prevailed. Soon I knew the plot like clockwork.

The night after he was caught, Morgaine escaped the dungeons. He never tried to claim he had not used magyk; he banished himself from Caervyon, knowing I would refuse to help him stay. Unfortunately, he only grew more powerful out on his own where he was able to practice his magyk freely. When he never appeared during the next cycle of the story, I realized something important I had missed. Morgaine had never been reset like the others. Just like me and Kyarrah, he remembered. Which meant he may have surpassed me in ways I could never imagine.

Those he sent after Artwyn became more powerful and I found myself struggling to keep my magyk hidden. Artwyn found out a few times during different cycles, however, he always forgot by the next one.

Until the last cycle, in which Morgaine and I became the sole survivors of our world. In which I found that Morgaine had not meant to break King [redacted] nor Artwyn, but me.
