The Mage is a traveler who comes across the Brass Eagle Tavern while researching ley lines, the magical currents that underlie reality. She was once part of the faculty of a new magic school in a world only just emerging from an age where people were deeply suspicious of all things arcane. She is chipper, persuasive, and often too curious for her own good.
MAGE, over a drink: So…yes–the religious types aren’t our biggest fans. But the city’s not so bad. The school’s been around long enough that our first class will be graduating soon! // MAN, dry: Congratulations. No easy feat, I’m sure. // MAGE: It’s been a long time coming. [beat] I’ll tell you more if you tell me a bit about this place? You seem like someone who’s well-informed.
:MAN, hackles raising The hell’d you do? Kill someone? // MAGE, alarmed, defensive: No, nothing like that! (beat, relenting) The school is in an old cathedral. My lab was in the crypt beneath it. I botched a rune, and…channeled some energy to the wrong place. Whoops! Accidental necromancy! No one got hurt, but the old bastards on the board couldn’t forgive and forget.
MAGE, exhausted and delirious: Lost! Here! Strangers, no, cannot be…it can’t be that they’ve found me, Cael…me…me, me…ha…ha…
