Gilver, one of the last warlocks is given the task to take on an apprentice, he has other things he'd rather do, but soul oaths are soul oaths. Cixrus, a Doppelganger, wakes up independent. No longer a part of the hive mind that has controlled it for its whole life. Fate will bring these two together, and it may tear them apart again. The realm is changing, species are preparing for war, troubles brewing both underground and on the surface. Hopefully these two can stay together long enough to weather the storm and survive. Hopefully. Also can the dwarfs finally decide whether clay cups or metal tankards are better for drinking? ⟣⟡⟢ Release schedule: [PAUSED] Friday + Occasional Extra Rewrite in Progress [PAUSED] (4/12)
