All Pathbearers dream of reaching Legendary-Tier. To most, it is the pinnacle of power. Yet, this power is rarely understood so well. Let us put this into perspective—do you know that sixty percent of the energy generated by the Twilight Republic comes from two Aeromancy Legends? The other forty are provided by countless Heroes, Masters, Adep...

Be mindful of the enemies you make. Or make sure you kill them. Those are my only two bits of advice.
If you let your enemies live, sooner or later they're going to come back for you. They will be a problem. They will hurt you. They will do everything in their power to bleed you, to break what you've built, and to attack you when your guard is down and you are most vulnerable.
You think getting a class makes you powerful? No, it puts a target on the back of y...

Listen son and listen to me good here, being a Shackler isn't about violence, isn't about bleeding and butchering and pounding on our fellow slaves like their sacks of meat, part of it has to do with the violence, but that part is like breathing, we don't think about it too much because it is what it is.
But what makes us a Shackler, the reason why we get to eat more while we get our pick of privileges and why the gods favor us above the other lowest is simple, we are here ...

It is highly inappropriate to think of an Animancy Bomb as a weapon. It is not a weapon. It does not destroy.
Quite Contrarily, it forces you to be remembered. It splays your narrative upon the system, fusing you with the Integration itself. Perhaps the best way to understand it is as a poorly told story, in which the first perso...

Manipulation and confusion are the best tools to use when dealing with a reluctant prisoner.

Alright, so there are two concepts you need to figure out before you can escape from the place. The first is 'System,' as in, what kind of system is your captor running? Everyone has a system. If they're just keeping you locked in place with, I don't know, a rusted metal chain or a bioform to guard you, the system is pretty simple. Deal with the chain, deal with the bioform, and you can get out. But if you're dealing with anyone who's sophisticated at all, or if you find yourself trapped ...

It is known that the Descenders are an insular group; a conservative faith that holds high barriers in place to ensure that only those vested and a part of their elite order may be properly regarded as a knight.
Yet, the Descenders are also warriors of honor, and for all their stubbornness and cultural conservatism, they have accepted some of the most unusual of monsters and individuals as knights of their order.
Among the most well known is perhaps Tall Ben ...

Hydras are curious creatures in the way they evolve. When they finally hit the threshold for sapience, their centermost head will be the first one that becomes truly self aware and intelligence on an individual level. This usually causes some level of insanity for the hydra as the centermost head will then be held back by the others due to their bestial nature.
This phase of the hydra’s existence is typically called “The Tearing” as it characterizes just how severely ...

As some of you might already know, monsters and individuals are separated into different categories of Pathbearer. The main separation between individual and monster is debated, but the core differences are experiential, origin, and metaphysical. Though there have been questionable experiments conducted by ancient empires to raise “Feral Pathbearers” who might be able to access a monster’s Path, thus far it takes a significant alteration to an individual Pathbearer’s nature for th...
