Ten paths into Agartha — choose your calling
Ancient Lore · Storm & Tide
Tempests are island-born scholars who learned magic where land meets endless sea — reading the clash of wave and stone as a lesson in power. Magic, like the tide, cannot be tamed; it must flow through those who would harness it. From that understanding they shape the storm’s elements into true sorcery: lightning strikes, frost bolts, driving rain, cutting wind, and ice that answers their call.
To a Tempest, magic is something to be understood before it is wielded.
Shape wind and lightning into focused sorcery—bolts, gales, and storm-born strikes cast with practiced intent.
Draw cold and tide into frost bolts, hail, and freezing torrents that answer the caster’s will.
Study the deeper currents of magic so every spell is entered with understanding, not forced into obedience.
Volcanic Will · Fire & Chaos
Sorcerers pursue power without restraint, forcing magic beyond the limits others dare not cross. They wield flame, heat, and raw destructive energy with little concern for consequence—burning through enemies, surroundings, and sometimes themselves in the process.
To a Sorcerer, every sacrifice is acceptable if the power gained is greater than the price paid.
Unleash fire, flame, and inferno without restraint, turning heat itself into a weapon.
Force volatile magic past safe limits, embracing destruction, volatility, and ruin.
Offer flesh, focus, and fortune for greater power—accepting any price if the gain is greater.
Wild Balance · Nature & Beast
Wardens walk in harmony with the living world, embracing both its tranquility and its struggle. They draw upon the endless cycle of growth, decay, death, and renewal—healing what can flourish, enduring what must be weathered, and answering violence with the ferocity of the wild.
To a Warden, balance is not peace. It is knowing when to nurture, when to endure, and when to become the beast.
Channel growth, decay, and renewal, weaving the living cycle of the wild into every rite.
Take the shape of stag, bear, wolf, or owl when harmony fails and the hunt begins.
Stand in might, resilience, and wisdom—knowing when to nurture, endure, or strike.
Hunt with bow and arrow under sun, moon, and stars—drawing aim from nature’s balance across open wilds.
Steel & Resolve · Arms of War
Soldiers master the weapons and discipline of close combat, relying on strength, armor, and hard-earned skill rather than magic. Some take up arms in service of honor and duty, others sell their steel to the highest bidder, while some live for the fury and glory of battle itself.
A Soldier’s cause is their own. Some fight for honor. Some fight for gold. Some fight for glory.
Fight for honor and duty—holding the line with disciplined defense and steadfast resolve.
Sell your steel for gold and opportunity, living by skill and the contracts you choose.
Seek fury, might, and conquest—charging into battle for the thrill of victory itself.
Wind & Shadow · Precision & Venom
Mercenaries make a trade of precision. They stalk unseen, strike from impossible distances, and turn poison and alchemy into weapons as deadly as any blade. Whether slipping through shadow with a dagger, placing a poisoned arrow from afar, or preparing toxins for the perfect kill, they survive by choosing the moment of attack before their enemy ever knows they are there.
A Mercenary does not chase their mark. They wait for the moment they cannot miss.
Move unseen through stealth and deception, ending the fight before it ever begins.
Strike from impossible range with bows and poisoned shots that never miss their mark.
Brew poisons and toxins in advance so every kill is prepared long before the moment comes.
Sacred Light · Holy Arms
Templars are warriors of sacred conviction, clad in steel and strengthened by divine light. They carry faith into battle through hammer, shield, and holy power, standing for justice, righteousness, and the protection of the faithful. Yet devotion can burn as fiercely as any flame, and when judgment turns to wrath, a Templar may become an instrument of holy vengeance.
A Templar does not waver, for faith is both their shield and their strength.
Stand for justice, duty, and protection—shielding the faithful with sacred steel.
Anchor yourself in faith, resolve, and discipline so divine light never falters.
Turn judgment into wrath and retribution when mercy is no longer enough.
Occult Night · Death & Decay
Acolytes walk the forbidden paths of shadow, death, and profane ritual. They bind the dead to their will, speak cursed words that weaken flesh and spirit, and draw power from forces the rest of the world fears to name. Whether raising undead servants, invoking ancient occult rites, or shaping shadow into ruinous sorcery, an Acolyte embraces the truth others flee: every soul, in time, belongs to darkness.
An Acolyte does not fear the curse, for they have already offered part of themselves to claim its power.
Raise and command the undead, binding reanimated servants to your will.
Invoke forbidden rites, curses, and soul magic drawn from powers others dare not name.
Shape dark sorcery into decay and ruin, unraveling flesh and spirit alike.
The Spark · Invention & Living Machines
Engineers stand at the frontier between science and the forces others call magic. Through relentless experimentation, they have learned to draw upon the Spark—the living essence woven through the world—and bind it into machines of their own creation. Constructs awaken, weapons surge with impossible energy, and lifeless mechanisms move with something eerily close to will.
To an Engineer, magic is simply a mystery waiting to be understood, dismantled, and rebuilt.
Bind living essence into machines until constructs awaken with eerie, purposeful will.
Push experimentation and ingenuity further—dismantling mysteries just to rebuild them.
Field constructs, cannons, and mechanical weapons charged with impossible energy.
Aetheric Duality · Creation & Unmaking
Archons wield an ancient knowledge preserved only among the eldest elven bloodlines—a mastery of the opposing forces that shape existence itself. Through Pro-Matter they restore, create, and sustain; through Anti-Matter they unravel, erase, and return what exists to nothingness. Neither force is inherently righteous nor corrupt. They are opposing halves of the same cosmic truth, held in balance by those with the wisdom to command them.
To an Archon, creation and destruction are not enemies. They are the two halves of existence.
Restore, create, and preserve—reasserting existence itself where life has begun to fail.
Unmake the bonds of reality, pulling matter and energy toward entropy and oblivion.
Spirit & Stone · Memory & Foresight
Nomads walk between our world and the unseen realm of spirits, drawing power from memories buried beneath the sands by time. The Nomad listens—channeling ancestral guidance. Through spirit walking they slip between worlds to cross the battlefield unseen. Through geomancy they awaken the land itself, wielding the seismic force of the ground that remembers every battle fought upon it. Through foresight they glimpse what was and sense what may yet come to be.
To a Nomad, the spirits do not rest idle, the earth remembers all that has passed, and time is not a boundary, but a veil to be understood and mastered.
Slip between worlds to fade from living sight, cross the field unseen, and strike from the veil.
Awaken the land’s memory—sinking sand, mudslides, and seismic force from ground that still bears witness.
Bend the currents of time—glimpse what approaches, rewind wounds, and step aside from the moment itself.
