Reign

The Origins

It was a sight he had witnessed all too many times: a blood-soaked battlefield, soldiers laying on the ground with their limbs torn or hanging on ligaments; screaming and wailing, bodies impaled through broken bayonets and faces lying in the mud with their bodies disconnected from them, severed and tossed into some pile of bodies or some ditch dug into the center of the field. For once, a twisted thought ran through the Draedan's mind: what if I made all of this much, much easier? The severing, the blood-soaked bodies, the bullet wounds from something other than rackety, barely-functional muskets. Taelian considered what bringing a brutally efficient war magic to his own side might do in helping to reshape the world to a more personally preferential state, and so Reign was born.
