Since the casting of the original **World Spell**, many **Adventurers** have roamed the continent in search of ancient artifacts and gold. Some even went in search of the **Endless Life**, the immortality *The Old Wizard* once possessed. Some **Whiskers** traveled alone, others in small parties, but every **Whisker** loved to come together for the annual *Magna Congregatio (Great Gathering)*.

Hosted in **Windrose City**, The *Magna Congregatio* was a festival dedicated to honoring the legacy of *The Old Wizard,* and to celebrating his sacrifice, the sacrifice that regifted the world with its most precious treasure – life. For most **Whiskers**, this was a time to be merry, to rest, and to reflect on the dangers that lie beyond the walls and waters of **Windrose City**. For others, it was a time to find those who more directly inherited **The Will** of *The Old Wizard*… those who were born with a **Shard of End**.

*Those who carry the onus of fate.*
