Scholar
Introduction
“In an age long past, when mankind flourished under the radiance of arcane mastery, the island of Vylbrand was home to a city-state called Nym. Though the history of that age tells of countless wars waged with earth-shattering incantations, it was the brilliant strategic maneuvering of Nym's scholars that allowed their mundane army of mariners to throw back would-be conquerers time and again. These learned men and women defended the freedom of their tiny nation with their unique command over spell-weaving faeries, utilizing the creatures' magicks to heal the wounded and bolster the strength of their allies.
Scholars manifest their spells through earth and air, but their unique maneuver and experise allow them to conjure forth faeries to help in battle. Only the scholars may command their conjured faeries to cast healing abilities and restore their fellows in battle.
