What is a Spellbounder?

Spellbounders are an elite group of soldiers in this world who have shown an aptitude for manipulating physics and elemental spells. Through rigorous and sometimes fatal trials and training a Spellbounder can obtain a certain level of control of their power.

However, some individuals fail to obtain high enough power to even be considered a spellbounder due to either their lack of training or just not having the ability to ever reach that level.


The History

The first spellbounder named Darvius Elimnei was born and raised in the northern snowlands. His people were known for their extremely dangerous hunting of Serils (a deadly species of serpent that lives under the ice). During his first hunt, the Seril whipped the boat with it's tail and sent Darvius over the side. The serpent zipped through the water towards Darvius with intent on devouring him, Darvius drew his knife in hopes to fight the beast, but instead the knife started to glow and the entire area under the ice froze.

Unfortunately for him, the ice sealed him within also. Trapped inside a small room formed into the ice, the boy was destined for death. After three days of starvation, Darvius began to try do what he had done earlier, except this time freeze the room and bring a faster death. However, he did not freeze the room, instead fire came from the knife attached to his side and completely melted the ice around him.

That is the story told down by the generations for nine hundred years. The tale goes on to detail the boy mastering his powers and becoming a man whom tries to spread the gift onto other able individuals, but sadly his power was so feared that he was hunted down and executed.

Decades later though, the malevolent arose and marched across the world slaughtering innocent people and laying waster to kingdoms everywhere. On the brink of being the end of humanity, the old teachings of Darvius resurfaced and soon the castle of trials in the southern world was formed as a place that many could come and learn to become a spellbounder. It was a desperate effort to push out the Malevolent.

Almost another decade passed in raising a spellbounder army, but like a flame in the dark the spellbounders crushed the malevolent and sent them running back to the eastern darklands. Since then, spellbounding has become a widely accepted practice and even a self sustained one. Spellbounders continue to exist today but most without claim of any nation and instead working for hire by the most powerful kingdoms. In some cases, spellbounders do battle with each other and in these instances only catastrophic wake is left behind.
