Sides & Factions
The Two Sides
Working names (work in progress): the light side is the the Evane (a soft spin on "even"). Others call the other side the Shattered (a broken mirror). They call themselves the Facets (each shard catches the light its own way).
The Light Side: magic with limits
- Believes magic may only be used for good and must never break the rules of nature.
- Divided into five well-defined factions, each with its own drawing style. The five are in constant competition over who's best, with tension and conflict between them.
- Each faction owns exactly one drawing style.
- One faction is the Waymakers, who guard motion (what moves keeps its course). They draw parallel, and Gale is their spell.
- Factions should NOT be the cliché classical elements (fire, water, earth, air).
- (Idea) Each faction guards one rule of nature, for example:
- Wardens of Measure: balance, cause and effect, every spell has a cost.
- The Tenders: growth and decay, the cycle of life.
- Keepers of the Hour: time and the order of events.
- The Still Choir: sound, stillness, the unseen.
The Other Side: magic without limits
- Believes magic was given to people to use for anything it can do.
- No limits on what magic should be used for.
- Name and internal structure TBD.
