Will-Shapers and the World

Will-shapers find themselves in a strange place on Imarel. Those that don’t realize what they are often live normal, mundane lives. Those who realize their talents often find themselves hiding these talents from the world at large, as there are any number of cults who value them for rituals, as their life force is considered extra potent. There are scientists and magi who wish to study and test them, and those with questionable morals may even wish to go beyond that and experiment on them or even dissect them alive to understand the nature of their unique abilities. Will-Shapers often find themselves at odds with the Schools of Magic for this reason, cautious and untrusting of institutions that could potentially seek to exploit or govern over them.

In recent years, rumors have arisen about a self-regulated commune of Will-Shapers in or around Mira’s Hope, living among the Humans and the Tallis-Vyssian, Half-Vyssian, and Ferinal outcasts that call the colony home. If such a commune does exist, it remains relatively hidden, and has yet to attract the attention or interest of world organizations, keeping in the shadows or underground to ensure their talents and nature are not exploited.
