>>5776436This is the story of Izirina Henzler—at least, that’s how it’s usually told. Foundling daughter of the famed and feared Archmage Theresa Henzler, premier chimericist and greatest magical mind of a generation—that’s what they say. Izirina followed in her adoptive mother’s footsteps (though admittedly she probably benefitted a little from the access to her mother’s knowledge and resources to do so). It is a foolhardy Mages’ Tower that allows their students to begin practicing spellcraft before their late teens or early twenties, and a truly reckless one that turns them loose to practice it openly and without supervision without ten years of theory under their belt… yet there she was, in her mid-to-late-twenties, top of her class and ready to make her name and ascend to greatness! If she was an intimidating name in her academic career BEFORE, well, she was about to rise to become a towering figure in just about every field of magical study there was: arcana, theosophy, alchemy, natural philosophy, cosmology, and more!
Of course, she ended up being more than just an ever-present name in a hundred textbooks and treatises to YOU. And this isn’t JUST her story, though. It’s also yours. You were there every step of the way. Oh, to many a human mage you are remembered as merely ‘the hired help’, the ‘hanger on’, a ‘member of her party’… But you both know the truth of it. To those who know fo you, you are a legend in your own right.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves, aren’t we?
