Story Opening

(Idea) Full world, story outline, cast and locations proposals: Story Bible.

1. The player's village is attacked (monsters or invaders).
   • The attack comes from a warp upstream, opened partly by an Evane mistake. Details: Story Bible.
2. A tutorial prompt shows mirrored L shapes; the character "accidentally" draws them and casts a repel spell, kicking off the story.
   • (Idea) The first cast is overwhelmingly powerful, drawing the attention of both sides.
3. A mentor in town (an elder or retired magic-user, not necessarily called "wizard") recognizes the potential and sends the player on a quest to learn more about magic, in a Hobbit-style send-off.

The Mentor

• Trustworthy, but jaded.
• Once caught up in the endless conflict between the two sides. Was pushed to do something and/or realized the conflict was pointless and fruitless, and walked away.
• A living example that stepping outside the conflict is possible.
