Ancestral expectations

The educational system in the city of Havag instilled in Xylon a pervasive belief that humans were inherently fragile and their capabilities were disappointingly limited. 

Within the confines of the school of magic, where Xylon and others were instructed in rudimentary defense and attack magic, the curriculum remained frustratingly restricted. 

This consistent limitation led Xylon to internalize the notion that these basic skills were the extent of their true potential.

Xylon's exposure was confined to this narrow educational environment, devoid of experiences as a scavenger, sentinel, or even a guard.

 Unbeknownst to him, outside the boundaries of his familiar circles, there existed individuals who delved into the realms of magic far more profound.

 These select few were privy to knowledge that could wield an impactful influence, casting aside the notion of human fragility and showcasing the true depths of their capabilities.
