Dirges of the Burned and Broken (magic school)

Traditionally, Magi have played a minor role in Damotan warfare. Unlike in many of the lands traversed by their pilgrims, the use of purely-destructive magic has long been highly frowned-upon. Nonetheless, practicality has demanded that Damotan rulers attempt to foster an understanding of these foreign ways of magic.

In radical divergence from the rest of Damota’s magical traditions, the Singers of the Dirges are focused on the use of magic in battle, and countless shattered walls, burned villages, and fallow fields mark the trail of these practitioners. Yet, so long as there is war in Damota, there will be demand for these death-bringers, who combine a traditional knowledge of Nature with the Fire and Stone of the North.
