Mystic Knights are often failed mages or warriors who couldn’t balance their interest in magic with their martial profession. They would take up the art of runeforging and combine the ancient histories with their own talents until the day where they created something entirely new: something mystical and worthy of recognition. Using this newfound knowledge of the past, those who had failed to become warriors worthy of praise or mages worthy of renown would find a reason to keep pursuing the life of an adventurer. As the Primoridal Runes fell into obscurity, the process of making tools capable of tapping into their aetheric energy would become refined into a process known as Runeforging. Those individuals that drew power from these fonts of magical energy did so with the use of tools etched with lost arcane script. Over time, these phenomena would manifest themselves as the Primordial Runes of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, the very elements that gave rise to life as people have come to know it. In truth, some people developed magic by tapping into natural phenomena that seemed to harbor incredible energy. ![]() However, this was only part of the story. Turning their mind to histories long past, the early mystic knights uncovered a lost truth that would eventually form the foundation for their unusual strengths.Īncient history reports that the earliest forms of magic were granted by divine beings or fell demons as a means of spreading their influence in a young and blooming world. However, for a mystic knight, you learn to embrace your failures as a means forging new paths once old ones can no longer be tread. They are neither a gifted mage nor a talented warrior, but in spite of this, they are defined by a single characteristic that defies the understanding of both: They are not what you’d expect and that makes them exceptional.Ĭoming from a background of failure as both squire and mage, it would be easy to allow oneself to lose focus and purpose. Mystic Knights seem to exist outside of the conventions of traditional understanding. In this world of black and white, it is so easy to forget that there is a third color that gives both white and black it’s clarity: grey. You either have the talent to be a mage or you don’t. You either have the strength to be a great warrior or you don’t. ![]() You either are a gifted artisan or you aren’t. To most people in the world, all things can be defined by two simple views: It is or it isn’t. Even the softest of colors can shine brightly in a world where the views held by those living in that world are so narrowly defined in black and white. From the earth underfoot to the heavens above, all things stand apart from each other with the clarity and intensity of the color. They are functionally balanced and have been playtested (…a somewhat disturbing amount…) but are thematically a little silly.The world itself is full of color.
