You've come to a wizard school and you don't know who he is? 695 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:14,000 No, I mean, I don't really know much about any of this, but what made this guy so great? 696 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,000 And what was his name? 697 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000 His name was Vassal Wren. 698 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:28,000 He saved a large portion of the region from the oncoming warriors, I guess you could call them, of fae. 699 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,000 Oh, is that what the dead things are in this picture? 700 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,000 Yeah, yeah, those are undead. 701 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:42,000 There was a point in time when fae looked to spread out. 702 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,000 The red wizards there were looking to reach and grab more land, 703 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:57,000 and Vassal and his clan, I guess you could call them, his group of do-gooders, went and saved the day. 704 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:06,000 Okay, follow-up question. How do they raise an army from the dead? 705 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,000 That seems like some pretty crazy magic. 706 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,000 Yes, it's very dark magic. 707 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,000 You guys don't teach that here, do you? 708 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,000 Not directly. We do touch on it. 709 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,000 Obviously, it is part of the curriculum to know what it is, 710 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:40,000 but most of our subjects and classes here tend to leave more to abjuration and evocation and things of lighter, not lighter, nature. 711 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:49,000 Magic is very powerful, but less on the dark, grisly side of bringing things back from the dead. 712 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:53,000 Oh, cool, cool. What's abjuration? 713 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,000 I don't know these words that you're saying. 714 00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:01,000 What is your knowledge of magic? You said that you performed magic. 715 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:10,000 Well, it was more like it performed through me, so I don't know much of anything. 716 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,000 Right. 717 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:20,000 Hence why I came here to talk to somebody that maybe does know about that stuff. 718 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:27,000 Yes, as a matter of fact, I can't believe they haven't come down yet. 719 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:35,000 Okay, abjuration. I will give you a little knowledge just in case there's a tertiary quiz of some sort. 720 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000 You have a little bit of knowledge. 721 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,000 Oh, no. Is there like an entry quiz? 722 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:46,000 No, I think they're going to ask you a few questions just to kind of get some groundwork as to what knowledge you... 723 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,000 Just your backstory. 724 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,000 That'll be really easy. I don't know anything. 725 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,000 What makes you tick? Okay, good. 726 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,000 Abjuration are spells that generally protect. 727 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:05,000 They create different physical or magical barriers negating other magical or physical abilities. 728 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,000 Oh, so like defense. 729 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:13,000 Exactly, like defense, like shields, changing your skin to stone. 730 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,000 Whoa, that's pretty cool. Can you teach me how to do that? 731 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:22,000 I can't. I can't. I don't perform a lot of magic. 732 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:29,000 The magic I perform is all in the books is what they tell me that I do here. 733 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:34,000 Magic of bookkeeping and appointment keeping, which they should have been down a long time ago. 734 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,000 Let me go just see where they are. 735 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,000 Sure, sure, sure. 736 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,000 She shuffles off quite quickly. 737 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:48,000 I make a little note, like, Voselren, ask about that dude. 738 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:55,000 A few minutes goes by and she also comes back in and she says, they should be... 739 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,000 Here are some footsteps. 740 00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,000 She's on her way down right now. 741 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,000 Okay, thanks.

Not all the details are there. 834 00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:09,000 But then a man who is dressed in clothes that resemble very much the cult members that you saw the night before you left. 835 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:18,000 Pull a large blade and go to attack this woman.

It can happen anywhere. 847 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:53,000 But you, Moot, have wild magic within you. 848 00:53:53,000 --> 00:54:06,000 And as much as I would love to teach you magics, I feel like your time would be somewhat wasted here. 849 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:12,000 Okay, um, so what do I do? 850 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:20,000 Most people who come, I would say that, you know, you go on your way and sort it out on your own. 851 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,000 Okay. 852 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,000 But I like you, Moot. 853 00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:31,000 And she kind of compresses the energy field and it goes up into butterflies. 854 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:45,000 There was a man who worked here some time ago now who studied almost too much into wild magics of the world. 855 00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:49,000 I feel like he could help you. 856 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:54,000 What's this man's name?

He is, was, still is well known in the area. 861 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:26,000 Unfortunately, he left no forwarding address when he did leave. 862 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:35,000 He used to live near the House of Knowledge. I've heard he often frequents the Fallen Tower or had frequented the Fallen Tower. 863 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:40,000 If you go there, they may have heard something of him. 864 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:47,000 Is that anything like that castle that's hovering above the city? What's that thing's deal? 865 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:53,000 No, it's not. The castle that's hovering above the city is... 866 00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:57,000 I think a dude called it the Shard of Night? 867 00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:05,000 Some people still call it the Shard of Night. It is more aptly known lately as the Shard of the Moon. 868 00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:14,000 It is a beacon of hope and symbol of the patron deity Selune. 869 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:18,000 With a name like Moonblower? 870 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,000 Yes. 871 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,000 Do you have any association with the moon? 872 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:32,000 My own personal deity is Selune. She is the moon maiden or the night white lady. 873 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,000 Cool. 874 00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:37,000 Yeah, I just thought like, yeah, last name like that. I mean, you kind of have to, right? 875 00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,000 You would have to. One would think. 876 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:49,000 Okay. Well, I guess if you don't think my time is going to be well spent here, I better go see if I can find this Gabriel guy. 877 00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:56,000 Any tips on, in the meantime, maybe just like how to control this? 878 00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,000 Control your... 879 00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,000 Like the wild magic. 880 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:11,000 Right. It seems to come to you under duress or stress. Try to keep your cool. 881 00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,000 Okay. So just chill. Nice and chill. 882 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:17,000 Just chill. Just keep it chill. Keep it real. 883 00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,000 Okay. Real and chill. 884 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:24,000 Yes. It's what the kids are saying these days around the campus. 885 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:30,000 Okay. So I guess should I see myself out of Nogwoods? 886 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,000 I can escort you out, of course. 887 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:34,000 Cool. 888 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:43,000 She goes back to the door and opens it and ushers you out. Is there anything else I can answer for you before you leave? 889 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:51,000 No, I mean, I don't really know what else to ask. This is all so new. 890 00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:56,000 Are you from the area or do you know anybody in the area? 891 00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,000 Yeah, that might be good. Is there somewhere to stay? 892 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:10,000 Yes. Yeah, there are many inns or places you can stay. Do you have much in terms of money? 893 00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:14,000 Not really. I've got a little bit, but... 894 00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:15,000 Okay. 895 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:23,000 Are there any small jobs around the school you need done? Maybe you could put me up for the night in exchange? 896 00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:36,000 We could put you up for tonight and then help you find your way in the morning. It seems the least we could do because we can't help you learn what you need to learn. 897 00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:53,000 We will do that for you, though, and if there's anything that we can think of to earn a further keep, if you are to stay until you find Gabriel or find where you need to be, then we will help you with that. 898 00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,000 Cool. Thanks, Headmistress. 899 00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,000 Of course. 900 00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:12,000 You get back to the front entrance to the school and she opens the wide doors for you and says, well, come back here tonight. 901 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,000 In fact, hold on. 902 00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:23,000 Shilsu, could you have a room arranged for Moot and let everyone know that he will be around? 903 00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,000 Yeah, yeah, of course. I can do that. 904 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:31,000 She hustles off and you see her disappear back down the hallway there. 905 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:39,000 Shilsu will make sure that you are set up and leave you directions here, if she is not here, to where you need to be. 906 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:51,000 Cool. I guess I'll go hang out around the House of Knowledge and see if I can find Gabriel. 907 00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:56,000 Wonderful. We will see you again soon, Moot. 908 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,000 My name's Officer... 909 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,000 I was going to laugh really hard. 910 01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,000 My name is Officer Officer. 911 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:26,000 If he had a name badge on that had his name on it, he just hadn't seen it this whole time. 912 01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:30,000 Words are important, Ms. Meow Meow. 913 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:35,000 Say the name without laughing. You're horrible. 914 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,000 Patron name. 915 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,000 Who was it? I'll find you. 916 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,000 Kavin. 917 01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,000 We have addresses, I'm just saying. 918 01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:48,000 Look. 919 01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:52,000 Strongly worded letter. 920 01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:57,000 Guard! 921 01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:01,000 Paisley farts real long. 922 01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:06,000 Pulls out just a bar of food. 923 01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,000 He's going to say an iPhone and just starts flipping through and stuff. 924 01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:13,000 Just scrolling through her feed. 925 01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:19,000 By new here, did she mean the world? Civilization? 926 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:22,000 Don't know intent behind what she said.
