The Chronicles of Magesc

The Dragon Totems

1/1/2020

The dragon totems were found by a team of magescians who were trying to uncover stones and gems at the Desert Quarry. The Quarry Master, Aventis Viore, sanctioned that section of the quarry for more careful and precise digging when the first totems were found. Upon more investigation, a special team of archaeologists that were hired for the excavation found that the site had been that of an old ruin of a society long past. They speculated that these dragon totems were hand crafted by magescians of old in reverence to the gods and their dragon creations, emulating what the gods could do as they crafted each dragon.
It wasn't until the leaders of the races -- Aevah, Marcus, and Drago -- were made aware of the finding that they were able to complete the tale of these fascinating artifacts. They stated that these totems were actually the handiwork of the gods themselves. In fact, they were the mold for each dragon that roamed Magesc back when the world was first created. When imbued with the gods magic and power, the dragon totems would spring to life and create the dragons we now know.

This revelation sparked many a curiosity. It was also then discovered that when these totems were introduced to a dragon soul, they would glow with a strange ethereal magic. When imbued with enough of a dragon's power, these totems would evolve into something the user desired and the more souls that were imbued meant the stronger the creature that emerged would be. These creatures that have sprouted from the totems have become known as the kolkyrae or kolkyr spirits dependent upon the grade of totem that was utilized for the summoning. Wherein the high grade totem would produce a kolkyrae, a low grade totem would produce a less powerful kolkyr spirit.

When word got out about these magical relics, people came from far and wide to the quarry to get their hands on a precious totem. Aventis had sold off many to different merchants, making him quite a wealthy man.  The entire area of the old ruins was quarantined, inaccessible to any and all travelers while at the quarry. Only Aventis and a select group of archaeologists are ever able to farm these totems, but that doesn't mean you couldn't try and sneak into the heavily guarded ruins or pass and look for the totems within the world of sellers. The dragon totems are still found in caravans and many sellers around the world, but have become a beautiful artifact to hold onto until the perfect moment of summoning.

It has always been said that the creatures that come from the dragon totems are lucky, bringing abundance when traveling with a companion.
