I am Solemnary, Master Scholar, and High Wizard of the Academy in Fae’lon. There have been many studies undertaken to understand The Gifted and Giftless that exist within our world, and yet few answer the question as to how they first received their unique abilities.

But first, let me explain who The Gifted and Giftless are? Some of them you might know as heroes with extraordinary abilities believed to be given to them by their deities, but that is not always the case. Like with rangers, clerics, and other classes that have been birthed into our world over the years. There are some who are naturally gifted, and ones who are not.

One such group are the barbarians of the Red Lands. Raised in such a brutal, and hostile environment of the Red Waste, it is believed that over time these ordinary humans were able to gain great prowess in battle. It is also the same with Berserkers of Orkeylium. But unlike their fellow warriors in the Red Waste as fewer wars were waged in that region, we saw a dramatic decline in their numbers. Whether the ability was weeded out of them or simply lies dormant is difficult to say, but there are some rumours the ability is resurfacing.

Then of course, we must return to the rangers and clerics, both groups having originated around the same time as the appearance of the Lightbearer, some speculate if it was the Lightbearer that resulted in their powers. But in truth, these people are mostly devoted to the energies of the world, and are not followers of the Lightbearer. Rangers with the ability to sense everything around them, while the clerics are more interested in healing people. It may be merely a coincidence.

Paladins however, are an altogether different story with their actual origins beginning in Fae’lon with an extraordinary group of werewolves who had sworn their lives to obeying The Code of the Lightbearer. But eventually over time, warriors from all across the world would seek out this group of reclusive monks, and learn the ways of the holy warriors of old. This would be one of the many ways the Giftless could become Gifted. But unlike the many other classes that exist upon Coroleya, there are conditions set upon such power. It is the same with wizards, mages, sorceresses, and dark mages. Whatever they use to access magic must be appeased in some way in order for them to utilise their abilities.

But I digress, there are also several factions of note that I would like to mention that reside within the hands of the Gifted. Such as necromancers. Much to many people's surprise, such an ability can be born into them, and they need not study on the Island of Bloodtides. There are even some who can naturally summon beings from the underworld without any training.

But that is not to say the Giftless can not gain power, but unlike the Gifted, it usually takes many years of training, and rarely are they the equal of the Gifted. Of course there are some exceptions, but none that I care to mention.

In conclusion, the Giftless should accept their allotted station in life, and realize that they are mere insects, necessary, but easily replaceable.
