Re: Inside the Cathedral
Noticing that Fiora is examining sorte decks, which are commonly associated with the fate witches, Vasily looks at the tables to see what other sorceries are represented here. Some of these things are pretty well known; the Montaignions transport themselves through bloody doorways so they are probably represented, at least in part, by the gloves that they commonly wear, the Sarmatian sorcerers commune with some sort of demons, but who knows how that may be represented, sorcerers from the so-called Blessed Isles champion the causes of those Isles and are empowered by Faeries of some sort, The Eisen brew potions to help them deal with the dark monsters that live there, and the most common sorcerers from his own land are widely know for changing shapes in service of Matruska.
Still, he'd never heard of any sorceries from Castille or the lands of the Vestenmennavenjar. And he happened to know that, at least some places, there were less widely know magics. Was there anything that could represent any of those?
"This seems to draw a sort of likeness between the Syrne dynasties and current sorceries. I suppose that makes some sense for at least some of them; they're known to have their origins in one ancient powerful being or race or another. But I've never heard that Porte, Sorte, or Hexenwerk are tied to any kind of powerful being beyond the sorcerers themselves."
