OC

Race / Gnome

Enchanter / Sorcerer

Archmage

Borywick Rockborer is a Gnomish Archmage who has recently joined the guild Prometheus, and by proxy the Olympus Alliance, and he is doing his best to meet the expectations that others put upon him. His temperment shows relics of a meekness that he has overcome, and he is as passionate as his fellow guildmates about improving the world around him with the knowledge of the Dream Before. Most often, you will find him on the sidelines, trying not to get in the way, but when necessary he will step up to make sure the job gets done.

"Uh... I'll support you from behind this rock, okay?" - Borywick Rockborer

Duty Session 548: Isle of the Terraformers 2023 January 14th
Strange dark creatures have been reported by various members of the Hunter's Guild. These creatures seem to be drawn to the power of the Elements. However, these are no friendly creatures. They have been seen actively trying to do harm to Divine Beasts or other natural sources of Elemental Energy. The Were Fang, Mikage Yurei, has discovered the location which seems to spawn these creatures into the world and brought that information to the Hunter's Guild. Now, the Guild seeks Adventurers willing to delve into unknown Gnomish ruins to reduce the threat of these 'Terraformers'.

Duty Session 551: Fireball Solves Everything 2023 January 15th
Scattered throughout the forests of Eastal, a number of structures which are believed to have been used for religious rituals in honor to The Burning Goddess lie abandoned.

The secret of their manufacture has been lost to time, and scholars all over Yamato are willing to pay well for some samples to study in the hope to re-discover how they were made. As usual, the encountered challenges will require a variety of skills and ability to be overcome, but due to the special attunement of these structures with the element of Fire, the cooldown time for flame-related Artes is reduced dramatically, thus making this mission a favorite of people who specialize in this style of combat.
