The Everburn Mage
As a child, Rune Ransford held admirable aspirations of following his father's footsteps by joining the military as a combat mage. These skilled practitioners of magic helped to close the curtain on the much dreaded 7 Year War between his home country of Esteras and the nations that threatened to destroy it. Possessing a natural aptitude for manifesting and manipulating fire magic, as well as receiving support from his family, his mind had long since been made up. He would be a mage that would make them proud. However, a single, bloodshed night was enough to change his fate forever. Before his eyes, he witnessed every soul he loved perish in an undying inferno. The worst part of it all wasn't that he was helpless to save them. No, what plagues his mind even to this day is that everyone is convinced that he is responsible for their deaths. That he is a cruel devil who walked through a sea of fire and lived. Now, serving in the military as a fully-fledged combat mage, he intends to uncover the truth of what really happened in his tragic past. What Rune has yet to realize, however, is that there are larger, more malicious forces at play. Forces connected to his family’s untimely demise. Forces lurking in the shadows of the very country he lives. And forces striving to alter the course of Esteras' history. Brandishing his flames of suffering, The Everburn Mage takes his first step into a world of loss, iniquity, and betrayal.
