Revived Evoker

Origins

In the arcane annals of Alavir, the Revived Evokers are both a mystery and a paradox. They draw their power from the Hollow Drakes, undead dragons that roam the shadowy realms between life and death. These Evokers have tasted the bitterness of mortality and returned, their souls bound to the spectral essence of these undead dragons.



History

The Revived Evokers are often considered omens of great change. They have been present at key historical events, their powers of resurrection and ethereal magic turning the tides of battles and even altering the course of history. Yet, their existence is a constant struggle, as they balance the draconic energies of life and the hollow void of death.

Bonds

Bound to the Hollow Drakes, Revived Evokers carry the weight of both life and death in their souls. They often form pacts with necromancers, scholars, and even clerics who seek to understand the mysteries of life and death. Yet, their strongest bond is with their dragon patrons, whose ancient wisdom and spectral powers guide them.

Role in Alavir

In Alavir, they serve as the bridge between the living and the dead, often consulted to communicate with spirits or to counter necromantic threats. Despite their eerie nature, they have found a place among the Crusaders, respected for their unique abilities and their unyielding will to use their second chance at life for the greater good.

Thought-Provoking Questions

1. The Ethical Dilemma: How do Revived Evokers reconcile their existence, given that they draw power from beings that are neither fully alive nor fully dead?
2. Guardians of the In-Between: What responsibilities do they have towards both the living and the dead, considering their unique position?
3. The Hollow Drake Connection: How do these undead dragons view their human counterparts who share their spectral energies?
