What is a Champion?

Greetings,The following are notes found under some rubble in the Mystic City. They were salvaged and added to the Library.Please handle with care,-Historian It is something that is kinda weird for me to answer since these would be virtues that I would expect my students to follow based on my own actions and behaviors. But the description of what a champion embodies is something that has been present in the land way before I came around. You could easily look at one of the greatest if not the greatest Angel Guards in my opinion, Junon. So this kicks me back to square one… what is a champion? A champion is someone who, regardless of circumstances, will overcome and find a way to thrive. Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a champion? It’s not just about talent or luck – it’s about the mindset, work ethic, and resilience that drives someone to succeed. So, what makes a champion? Here are some key characteristics to consider: Passion and PurposeChampions are driven by a deep passion and purpose. They love what they do and are motivated by more than just the prospect of fame or fortune. This passion fuels their drive and helps them stay focused, even when the going gets tough. Dedication and StrictnessChampions don’t just talk about their goals – they work towards them every day. They are dedicated and disciplined in their training and practice, and they never let setbacks or obstacles stand in their way. Mental ToughnessChampions have a strong mental game. They know how to handle pressure and stay composed under stress. They don’t...

Wisdom of Mag

Greetings,The following are notes found in a hidden cave of the Anima Lake. They were salvaged and added to the Library.Please handle with care,-Historian Since I began teaching Defenders, I’ve always been working side by side with Clery. These days we find ourselves stuck here, more than we’d like. I love Kiel, and his plan to move slowly seems solid, but at times I disobey and head out to look around. Recently I found myself talking to one of our enemies, a young Mage called Guliarme. He showed me a few things he learned from some of his superiors. As I saw him show me those abilities, I realized that the enemy is using my teaching against us. My duty, when I took it, was to give Defenders the proper tools to survive everything this land throws their way. The fact that demons are the ones who taught this Defender, really hurt me. I made a decision that day, do a little more. Leaving something behind to help those same Defenders, showing them what other Defenders have done before and giving them new tools and guidelines to help improve. The Defender army was formed to protect humanity and unite it.  I will start here with a brief explanation of all the different types of Mages. Apologies, I forgot to let you know who I am. I am the Master Mage Mag, and I will teach you here about the diverse types of Mages that came out of my Discipline. The Types you will read might not be called this way during your time, or don’t have a particular name,...

Notes from Clery

Greetings,The following are notes found in a hidden cave of the Anima Lake. They were salvaged and added to the Library.Please handle with care,-Historian These days I find myself stuck here, more than I’d like. I look around and see fewer of us. A life like this, I don’t wish it on anyone. Before Aquillia was killed he told me “Had Letron not turned into a demon, the others wouldn’t have gone out and done it.”, he looked at me as if it was my fault. My duty, when I took it, was to give Defenders the proper tools to survive everything this land those their way. Little did I know that those same Defenders we prepared would become this. I still believe in Kiel’s dream, a Defender army to protect humanity and unite it. That’s why even in these desperate moments, I try to help.  I’ve decided to write here some notes, to help any future Cleric out. Here is a brief explanation of all the different types of Clerics. Maybe, once this is all over, things can return to normal. Defenders become the hope of the people again. I sure hope we can find a way to make it happen, someday.  I am the Master Cleric Clery, and I am not very good at naming things. You wouldn’t believe just how hard it took me to name my Discipline Cleric. The Types that don’t have a particular name, I will just call them by the name of a Defender or Warrior embodies the class. Hope it helps. Roan (Named after one of the Legendary Seven, Roan Thinami)...

Intercep Perception

Greetings,The following are notes found in a hidden cave of the Anima Lake. They were salvaged and added to the Library.Please handle with care,-Historian On a day much like today, I was sitting over a hill with Asch. While looking over the El Verloon Outpost, I was asked a question by Asch. “What will you do now?” It is something that I asked myself for weeks, since the massacre. That’s when Kiel came by, and asked me to assist in the formation of a new army, the Defender Army. I took the opportunity to shape new warriors that would be ready for the things to come. Hopefully avoid something like the Massacre of the Death Desert. I wrote many Skill Books since then, trained several Great Defenders and survived a few more wars. But even now, I still think I have more to teach. This latest article is a small guide to help new defenders see the diverse types of Scouts and Raiders that exist. I’m aware my counterpart butchered his article on diversity, so I plan to correct it. Raisco has let his ego become his true north, and has entirely forgotten the real reason the Job Class was created. That is to help Defenders and prepare them. I am Intercep and these are some of the different types of the Scout & Raider Discipline. Bow Scout One thing I do give props to Raisco, is that he explained the everyday run in the mill scout very well. I will just be adding a bit to it.  The Bow Scout, or just plain scout, allows a Defender to...

Raisco Disciplines 2.0

Greetings,The following were written a while ago, and found in the lands around the Refuge. They were salvaged and added to the Library.Please handle with care,-Historian A while back I read one of Arti’s books that spoke about the Types of Artisans. Now that I am one of the strongest warriors in all the lands, I thought “Heck! I can do that too.” The Principality of Junon has just been set up, Sikuku and Letron are leading things so I can take a break to write a bit on the Types of Raiders & Scouts. I’m Raisco, yes that one you’ve heard about, and as Master of the Raider and Scout classes I will write to you today about the diverse types of both Raiders & Scouts.  A little background to how I became the Master. One day Asch, Intercep and I were spending time in the El Verloon Outpost, looking at the monument, when Kiel made an approach. He asked me to help him out in forming a new army. I didn’t see it as something I’d want to do, since just a few weeks before the previous army was wiped out, but Intercep convinced me to assist. The deal was to do it together with Intercep and form Job Classes that can expand the teachings of Hawker. I liked Hawker, he helped me out and still does, Kiel, in my honest opinion, is a bit of a self righteous…well, anyways, now that I am stronger than Joshuan and even Akram, I decided to expand some more for your understanding.  Scout – Just what it’s all about. Yes,...
