Series Conclusion: Oath-Bound, Masters of the Storm, Book VI

In a magical realm far away ... or at least in another dimension, mages and shamans use the Elements for the good of the people, in work, play and war. In Kwagl, it only rains when the magic users summon it.

It is a world ruled by magic. Since magic appears randomly throughout the population regardless of gender or ethnicity, racism and sexism do not exist, but classism is rampant between the mage and warrior classes. And while the classes as a whole are revered and supported by society, the members of those classes have no individual significance and are considered less important than the average citizen. Life is utilitarian and the importance of a child is generally measured by the honor he or she can bring to the family.

Beginning with Darakin's involuntary summoning to the modern environment of twentieth-first century Earth, the Masters of the Storm series takes us through almost forty years of subsequent upheaval in the kingdom of Kildaga. Several divine prophecies detail the cross-realm part that Darakin and his family and friends will play in the restoration of order in Darakin's homeland, and Kildaga's mages and warriors struggle to deal with the turbulent times, which bring unparalleled magic users, witchcraft and powerful sorcery to their borders,

Culture and Demographics

Economics: Citizens use coin, but only in weight comparison. All of Nature's gifts are valued and no one material is worth more than another with regard to currency. Approved metals are made into coins of varying sizes and used by the people to exchange for goods or services. A coin-weight is carried by those who use currency in order to ensure that the buyer is providing the correct amount of payment. Mages and warriors are not permitted to use coin as it is believed that this will limit corruption within the classes.

Social Structure: There is no racism in Kwagl, although the so-called civilized societies both hate and fear the barbarians of the world. Sexism doesn't exist, either. Since the society developed around the worship of Nature and the use of magic, which does not discriminate between genders, neither do the people. The physical differences between men and women are not ignored; the warrior class is almost completely male, but the scholars are predominantly female. As idyllic as that may seem, however, class discrimination runs rampant and the relations between them are marked by friction. Mages and warriors are compelled to serve society by swearing an oath to the Magic Covenant that dictates how magic is used in their world. The oath-bound classes include combat mages, elemental mages, conjurers, mage wardens and warriors. Among the citizen classes are scholars, scribes, magic-smiths , seers, priests, hunters, bards, and nobles.

Politics: Though nations are referred to as Kingdoms, very few are actual kingdoms. The majority of the 'Civilized' kingdoms are more socialist or communist in their administration of order. The primary consideration is the maintenance of the environment as Nature created it. Since the mage and warrior classes do not use money, society is required to provide for their needs, resulting in high taxes, from which actual providers of food are reimbursed.

Literacy: Most of the people are illiterate, with the exception of the scholars, who are well-versed in the lore of the realm, and the mages, who spend years studying the history of the magic. A class of scribes provides reading and writing services to the populace, primarily for the purpose of obtaining payment for services rendered to warriors and mages. However, though most are illiterate, they are well-spoken, They have a rich oral history that endows them with extensive vocabularies and the ability to speak well in order to relate their lore with accuracy in an entertaining manner.

Religion: Worship is primarily toward Nature, with honor being paid to divine beings, as well. The priests are addressesd as expositors, as it is their responsibility to provide explanations and interpretations of the Magic Covenant. All citizens are required to attend the temples and participate in prayers for the acceptance of the departed into Nature's consciousness. The transition from life to death is the most sacred event in the life of an individual and deemed as something which is beyond human comprehension. As such, it is society's responsibility to make the passage as easy as possible, with the exception of acts during war. Executions are required to be quick, and beheading is the preferred method, although a skilled hangman can be used.

Those who have lived an obedient life Become One with the World upon death. Mages are thought to be reincarnated souls that failed the Covenant during their previous life. As such, they come back to act as servants to Nature in this life. In extreme cases, if someone has blasphemed or committed other atrocities, they may be judged as unredeemable, and their soul is sent to exist in a hell dimension for eternity. For those who are not judged as unredeemable or doomed to serve Nature as a mage, a failure to serve Nature may cause their soul to simply die or cease to exist, resulting in True Death.

The Mages

The Kakdali, or Elemental Mages, are responsible for maintaining Kwagl's environment. Building on the ancient teachings of the long-extinct shamans to learn how to maintain balance, they are trained in the kingdom of Kildaga and sent out to wander all the kingdoms of the world, providing their services as needed. It is a great honor for a family to send their mage child to the Elemental school.
The Kakdalo, or Combat Mages, use the Elements with deadly precision to defeat their enemies. Each kingdom trains and maintains its own ranks of Kakdalo, who work with the warrior class to keep its citizens safe from demons and other enemies. Mages born to poorer families that cannot afford the Elemental mage school tuition are sent to their kingdom's combat mage school.

Conjuration mages make up a small portion of the class. Very few are admitted to the school. These are the only mages who do not summon the Elements in their work. Instead, they use a connection to divine beings to administer deep healing. However, their primary purpose beyond healing is to summon people, and in rare cases, objects to them. With enough knowledge of the location of their target, they can call that person to their position, however the effects of such summoning spells generally cause some unpleasant side effects on the summoned person's balance.

Since all mages are born with silver hair, the Mage Council is immediately made aware of their birth and determines which type of mage they will be. Regardless of which school the young mage will be attending, he or she is removed from their family by the age of four or five to begin their training. They rarely have any further contact with their family until their graduation ceremony at the age of sixteen.

The Warriors

While sexism does not exist in Kwagl, there are very few female warriors. This is due not to their gender, but rather to the class admission requirements. Warriors are not born to the class as mages are, rather they are selected by the class. This fact causes the warriors to consider themselves above the mages, who are not chosen on their own merits but by virtue of having been born to it.

Each nation has its own warrior class whose instructors travel the kingdom testing children at the age of four or five. Those who are deemed worthy by virtue of physical prowess, innate balance and possessing the proper physique for both hand-to-hand fighting and for sword fighting are selected. Not only is the child tested, but the parents are examined, as well, in order to ensure that the child comes from a line that possesses the requisite traits.

It is considered a great honor for a family to have a child chosen for membership in the warrior class. As with mages, the child is removed from the home at the age of four or five and sent to live and train with his brothers in the warrior class.

Inquisitors are a subclass of warrior. They are generally bigger and stronger than the typical warrior. They are also brutal and cruel men whose only purpose is to torture enemies both as punishment and for the purpose of obtaining information.

The Hunters

Unlike mages and warriors, hunters are citizens. They marry, have families, and own homes and property. They take great pride in their skill at the hunt and tracking. Mates are selected based on physical attributes that are beneficial to their profession, with great agility and lithe builds being among the most desirable. Due to the desire to perpetuate those traits, hunters generally marry other hunters

The Seers

Seers are rare in the population, but their green eyes easily identify them as being connected to the magic of the Covenant. However, despite being citizens with all the accompanying rights, seers are the most unfortunate of Kwagl's population. They are briefly sent to study with the scholars for a time before they reach adolescence, which is when they begin having visions. However, their studies are limited to cultural and environmental studies that will allow them to interpret the images in their visions. The authorities generally have only one or two seers in their 'employ' at a given time, but any seer could be required to leave behind whatever life they have built to serve at any time. For this reason, few citizens are willing to cultivate relationships with them, leaving them to generally depend on the generosity of family members to survive.

The Books

In The Lost Mage, we meet Darakin, an Elemental mage and member of the Kakdali. One day, he is involuntarily summoned to a strange realm where the world operates on technology and science, rather than magic. Alone and unable to summon his precious Elements, he depends on Mrowley, the cat he talks to after a translation spell, to teach him how to get by in his new home.

The Lightning Caller tells the story of what happens when Darakin returns to Kwagl years after he was summoned away along with his shaman son, Arak, to fulfill a prophecy that says Arak will restore order to his father's homeland after Fire escapes.

Magic-Bound Running from a ruthless corporation that wants to use his ability to control the weather, the young shaman, Arak, and his sister, Maggie, escape to their father's magical realm of Kwagl. By the time Darakin and Nora are able to follow their children, the arch mage, Etheran, has already dispatched a band of warriors to capture the boy. Etheran plans to force the boy to help him control all of Kwagl's mages and warriors, a plot that is sure to put Kwagl on the path to world-wide warfare.

The Arcana of the Arch Mage finds the new arch mage, Rodsmic, desperate to learn the Arcana that contains the lore and spells he needs to know as the ultimate magic authority in the realm. However, Etheran, the deposed arch mage, is now sitting in prison and is unwilling to share his knowledge. When Rodsmic uses a combination of torture and hypnosis to begin extracting those secrets, Etheran manages to escape to the realm of the lost mage. Rodsmic has no choice but to send High Commander Ryken, along with several men, to Darakin's realm to retrieve the secrets of the Arcana.

Myrantia takes place seventeen years after Ryken's expedition to Darakin's new realm and fifteen years after a brutal war erupted with the barbarian kingdom of Myrantia over their refusal to hand over the shamans born within their borders. Ryken is sent to Myrantia to learn the fate of several warriors and mages who disappeared from a Kildagan outpost on the border of Myrantia. When Ryken finds himself fighting dark forces of sorcery and witchcraft, he uses every tool at his disposal, no matter how unconventional, in an attempt to return his expedition safely to Kildaga.

Oath-Bound concludes the Masters of the Storm series. As Ryken recovers from a wound he received from a demon, Cragor leads the warrior class as they search for the barbarian sorcerer who threatened the mage council. Spending his days idly relaxing and shielded from the demands of the position of high commander awakens a long-dead desire in Ryken to lead a more leisurely existence while raising a family of his own. However, he soon learns that he fathered children with Ravenwynd back in the Darakin's realm and that Rodsmic, the arch mage, plans on bringing the children to Kildaga in order to fulfill a prophecy that says they will defeat the sorcerer. Ryken is now faced with his biggest dilemma yet, how to protect his children while not betraying his oath-bound duty to the Covenant.
