Unlocking the Mystery - Part 1
By Gu-Daron of the Tempest Order, Year 1042
Beneath the surface-level of everyday life lies a mystery. It is that strange and numinous force that upholds all things, always present, but never fully grasped.
How do we come to understand this thing? How do we come to know it fully, thereby unlocking that same power of life within ourselves that we see all around us? This is the mystery. Some would say it is the greatest mystery.
It is for this reason the Tempest Order was originally formed; to seek out and understand the forces underlying our world. For over 100 years we have grown ever closer to this purpose. Through our experiments, rituals, and careful study, we have discovered the inner workings of this force of life.
It is at this point, having come so far, we have decided to reveal some aspects of this knowledge. We do this not only because we desire to draw more members to our order, but for those seekers who cannot be with us - that they would not live in ignorance.
Within the inner sanctuary of our high church lies a powerful artifact. Our walls were built to surround and protect it. This artifact contains the most potent source of magical energy ever found, and it is the primary source of our knowledge and experimentation.
Thanks to this artifact, the Tempest Order has become the utmost authority on all knowledge pertaining to metaphysics and therefore magic. Though we cannot provide a full description of the artifact due to the potential harm such knowledge could cause, we can direct those honest seekers who embody the necessary intuition and intellectual courage to begin in the process of attuning; the preliminary first step towards the attainment of magical power.
