D’Arc is sixteen years old and has spent the past decade training in the elemental arts under the Mage Masters of Iginor. Confined to study and magical discipline in their towering hall, he often wonders what lies beyond the world he has been secluded from.

As part of his initiation, he is summoned to the Hallowed Hall and tested by the four Mage Masters. He must complete three quests and return with proof of success: a lock of hair from a priestess, the unspoiled shell of a griffon’s egg, and the horn of a tricorn.

His journey takes him across the land of Iginor, through a forest stalked by redcap goblins, a barren desert wasteland, waters where evil masquerades as beauty, and mountains inhabited by the hostile Flyterians. If he succeeds, he will be accepted as a fully fledged Mage; if he fails, his name will be forgotten.
