Luminaries And Darkspawn

The alleyway grew quieter, and noises from the bazaar became distant.

Mildred sank to the floor with her back against the wall, running her fingers into her curly fiery-red hair, and she says…

"In Ancegon city, power, wealth, dominance." She emphasized by lifting three of her fingers in the air, "they are the triumvirate of survival in this unforgiving land. If you don't have one of these, then ending your life will be far better than becoming a weakling around these parts, cause trust me, you don't wanna experience what it's like to be thrown under the carriage."

She then paused, sucking in a deep breath before continuing, "when it comes to power, lineage dictates two paths. For Faes, there are those who are gifted with dark magic from birth, and then we have the 'Luminaries' who shun this gift of ours with contempt. Similar divides exist among mages, beasts, and every other inhabitant of Ancesgon, and we're labeled as the darkspawns because of those powers."
