Loremaster Profession in Aserere | World Anvil

Loremaster

Long have you meditated on the nature of magic, each day hoping, wishing, striving to unlock its mysteries so that you may be as powerful as the ancient Akoko which once ruled this world. The legends told by your elders hold so many secrets until one day you unlocked a mystery not with potions, beast parts, or the gods but with words. You inscribed the truth of magic into the wood and it burst into flame at your behest! Over time, you unlocked more secrets hidden in the stories of your people and in the ruins you carefully studied. You’re so close but you know you’ve only scratched the surface. You need more - more stories, more ruins, more knowledge!
