Publisher's blurb:
Kastela Theurgy is an expert form of manifesting the Magical Aspect of Sea. Those who recognise the intrinsic value of water to sentient life may come to understand how to manipulate this in order to shape their vision into reality. The original Kastela practitioners were the ruling classes of the early Formar tribes, who fought against the onslaught of Diar colonisation. There were no limits to their desperation in defence of their territory, and it was their collective power which cursed much of the seas surrounding the Known World. This did not halt the advance of the Diar, but it was enough of a demonstration of potential for the Kastela to be granted a position of privilege by their new overlords.
Kastela Theurgy today is seen as a high-class practice, the secrets of which are closely guarded. It is an art form for those who seek to exploit the fabric of the essence of life force itself. Kastela may be used to help or to hinder, to soothe or destroy. Kastela practitioners largely consider themselves therefore to exist on a plane upon which they are elevated above societal morality.
This Speciality Profile is provided to expand gameplay and further options for Character creation. The Entombed Crown Core Rulebook is required.
Some of the background lore for the Speciality is provided, but the nuances of culture and tradition may be further refined by the Storyteller (or the Player in conjunction with the Storyteller). The Known Word is an almost unimaginably vast space, therefore truths and new pieces of information are constantly being brought to light.
As with all Original Frontiers systems the Storyteller has the final word on all matters pertaining to gameplay. If a rule within this book comes into conflict with the good of the story, the Storyteller is free to bend, amend, or ignore that rule to their discretion.
Above all I wish you a fun, expressive and creative roleplay experience.
