[ArM5] A Legacy Etched

About two years ago a well-dressed, young, blond man with light skin and a way with words arrived to speak with your parents. With him was a small, brunette woman with weirdly black eyes who seemed amazingly alert. You don't know what they offered to your parents, but you were encouraged to leave with these two with little or no grieving. After walking you a short distance from your home, just far enough to avoid prying eyes, your life forever changed. They unrolled a rug they'd hidden away, you climbed on with a little encouragement, and they whisked you away through the skies. That was your first true taste of magic.

Then you arrived at your new home, a hidden sanctuary far from where you were born. There you met several other children like yourself. You soon discovered they were all brought here by the same pair. The man, who became known to you as Noll, showed all of you around your new home, switching between languages to talk to each of you. The woman, who you've come to know as Iseult, seems to be in charge of your home but not you so much. Your new home seems to be filled with magic itself, perhaps even having a personality of its own. Noll also introduced you to a larger, scruffy, very peculiar and worrisome man named Manius ex Bonisagus, which seems to mean something, though you do not understand at the moment. You soon discovered that, while Noll would teach you Latin and other scholastic things, it would be Manius who would teach you to be something greater...

(Characters will begin as children of varying ages, each just starting apprenticeship in 1197-1198. They will all at least start as a member of House Bonisagus for story reasons, but it will be possible to shift to most other houses after gauntlet, just none of the other true lineages. You will still get to choose to focus in certain Arts or generalize despite the common parts of apprenticeship. Apprenticeship will be fairly quick, more about getting to know the covenant and establish relationships. The focus will really be the characters as newly gauntleted magi in a covenant that already exists but which they are mostly in charge of, deciding what they want to do with their new lives.)
