Spell-caster

The name of the Marked

Written by ninne124

A spell-caster is someone with the ability to use magic to alter the reality around them, also known as casting spells. The title of spell-caster is rarely used anymore, and it’s more common to hear people refer to them as Marked ones instead. The name was mostly used from around year 600 and until the year 1420.

Oh, yes - I know about her, what shall we say, special qualities.
No, not her singing voice, you dimwit. She’s a spell-caster for light’s sake!

History of the Title

The title was originally created for keeping track of spellcasters in the different countries and areas across the world. It was usually in a nation’s best interest to know which individuals harnessed such power. It was not uncommon for the marked ones to be taken away in the middle of the night if they were suspected of being part of an uprising or revolutionary group.

The Week of Terror

Leaders around the world have always been worried about people with Fae Marks going against them, because of their ability to inflict damage much quicker than most other people.
The biggest roundup of Fae Marked people happened in 1372 in multiple regions across Dysvoll over the time span of a week. Multiple leaders of the northern Dysvollean countries sent soldiers on the same days to capture all registered spellcasters. Some escaped but most were held as prisoners for years on end before being sent away to other lands far away. Most were never heard from again and were thought to be dead by their families.
The week is known as The Week of Terrors and is something many Fae Marked people across Dysvoll remembers in different ways each year. Some hold dinners at their homes with their close family, others meet with other fae marked on special locations across the continent.
