Dragons For Sale

Partially sentient pieces of space are trying to escape the hunger of the Shade by descending to Sornieth as magical energy channeled by The Shifting Expanse's spires, then assuming a draconic form and mixing in with dragonkind.

Will these fragments of the universe seek the safety they so desire? Or does the recent strengthening of the elements have implications that threaten their new livelihoods?

LORE

The Novamancers, also known as the Refugees, are pieces of space fleeing from the Shade, which seeks to devour them. At the end of the Third Age, when the Shade shattered the magical barrier of the gods' Pillar, some of the barrier's magical energy radiated into space. As a result, some parts of space that were not yet swallowed by the Shade gained partial sentience, becoming aware that in order to continue existing, they must take refuge. Slowly, nebula clouds gravitated toward the seemingly safe world of Sornieth, and, recognizing that nebulae were not acceptable physical forms, morphed into dragon-like appearance. These fragments of space then assimilated into clans that were willing to accept them, finding protection under welcoming wings. However, will they continue to find peace in these troubling times, when the increased strength of elemental magic is causing more chaotic dominance battles, when more scientists are becoming aware of the anomaly of their existence, and when dragonkind in general has forgotten about the threat of the Shade?

novamancers: the origins

It was the sound of an explosion. Perhaps it was not even a sound, for it was so deafening compared to the previous silence, it may as well have never happened. The sound’s energy was of such great magnitude that even the stars shook gently, and new ones were born from interstellar gas. When the wave of sound and magical energy eventually dissipated, the universe surrounding the newly ravaged world of Sornieth returned to its relative silence. But it was not the same.

physical attributes

Novamancers feature bodies resembling a dark starry sky and wings patterned like a nebula cloud. In addition, their faces and limbs glow with runes in the colors of their wings, similar to the glow of distant galaxies. Most Novamancers have been observed to take on the forms of pearlcatchers or spirals. Researchers have determined that the reason they do so is because of the high concentration of pearlcatcher and spiral workers in the lightning farms where these Novamancers appear. Once the Novamancers arrive on Sornieth, they desire to form draconic bodies, so they use these workers as a reference. Scientists also believe that since pearlcatchers and spirals are relatively smaller on average, it takes less magical energy to create those bodies, making those breeds more appealing to the Novamancer.

social

Novamancers have not been observed interacting with any dragon. They actively avoid those who attempt to approach them. However, observational studies of Novamancers show that over time, they are able to crudely adapt the mannerisms of the dragons they live with. Some Novamancers even began to exhibit stunted but coherent speech.

Novamancers are generally observed as refraining from eating, even when there is no dragon to scare them off from doing so. In the cases that they have been observed eating, it was usually due to peer pressure from other dragons. Research has determined that they do not need to eat food because they subsist off magical energy. This explains their preference in magical items and also how magical items hoarded by Novamancers eventually lose their magic due to the Novamancer "feeding" on it.

IT WAS QUICKLY DISCOVERED THAT HE HAD NO EMPLOYEE ID, AND WAS PROMPTLY REMOVED FROM THE PREMISES. WHAT IS MOST UNUSUAL ABOUT THIS INCIDENT IS THAT THE SPIRAL WAS DESCRIBED TO RESEMBLE OUTER SPACE. RECENT MONITORING OF THE CONSTELLATIONS HAS DISCOVERED THAT STARS ARE APPEARING TO SIMPLY DISAPPEAR. ONE PARTICULAR MEMBER OF OUR ASSOCIATION, UPON HEARING ABOUT THIS SPIRAL, PROMPTLY DECLARED THAT THIS SPIRAL AND THE ABNORMALITIES IN THE STARS WERE CONNECTED. Personally, I think this is all insane, and that this spiral is just another weirdo who made his way into the Lightning Farm somehow, but since I am this association member's intern I have been forced to type up this report. He even decided to name this spiral a "Novamancer." He is absolutely a senile, old lunatic. Anyways, I doubt he will read this later. The probability of a random space-looking dragon showing up again seems rather low to me, but he keeps mumbling under his breath that "there will be more, there will be more." I can't wait until this internship is over.

WHEN ASKED ABOUT HOW IT HAD GOTTEN THERE, IT HAD NO RESPONSE, AND WAS PROMPTLY REMOVED FROM THE PREMISES. MEANWHILE, ASSOCIATION MEMBERS AT THE OBSERVATORY REPORTED MORE CHANGES IN THE STARS, WHICH HAD NOT OCCURRED SINCE THE APPEARANCE OF THE SPIRAL MALE. WE SUSPECT THAT THESE EVENTS INDEED HAVE A CORRELATION AND WILL BEGIN INVESTIGATING. OTHER COMMENTS: I knew I was right, all this time. Everyone else scoffed at my ideas, but this, this is the pinnacle of my lifetime of work. As for that scruffy youngster who was my intern, I always knew he lacked an appreciation for cosmic magical science, but his work on the first report is just shameful. He could not be bothered to separate his personal opinion from the objective report. I hope that youngster widens his mindset eventually. More importantly, I must focus all of my energy into this project. We must explain the unexplained!

IN ADDITION, THEY TEND TO LINGER WHERE DRAGONS ARE PRACTICING MAGICAL SPELLS AND WATCH THE SPELLCASTERS. WHY ARE THEY OBSESSED WITH THINGS PERTAINING TO MAGIC?

THEY EXPERIENCE LEARNING PROCESSES, THOUGH AT A COMPARATIVELY SLOWER PACE COMPARED TO THE AVERAGE HATCHLING. IN ADDITION, ONE SPECIFIC NOVAMANCER, NOV - 013, APPEARS TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS CONFUSION THROUGH SPEECH. THIS SUGGESTS THAT THESE ORGANISMS MAY BE AT LEAST PARTIALLY SENTIENT, BUT THIS CASE MAY BE AN ANOMALY SINCE WE HAVE YET TO OBSERVE SPEECH IN OTHER NOVAMANCERS. IF, HOWEVER, WE ARE ABLE TO CONFIRM SENTIENCE, COULD WE CONSIDER THESE ORGANISMS TO BE PART OF DRAGONKIND? THE ANSWER AWAITS US AS WE FURTHER PURSUE OUR RESEARCH.

CONSIDERING THAT TODAY IS THE START OF THE THUNDERCRACK CARNIVALE, THE HEIGHTENED MAGICAL ACTIVITY COULD BE A REASON WHY NEW NOVAMANCERS APPEARED AT THIS TIME. NEW NOVAMANCERS HAVE ALWAYS CORRELATED WITH SURGES IN LIGHTNING MAGIC; AS A RESULT, THE ASSOCIATION HAS DECIDED ON A NULL HYPOTHESIS: THAT NOVAMANCERS NEED THIS ENERGY IN ORDER TO INITIATE EXISTENCE IN SORNIETH. BUT DID THEY EXIST AS AN ORGANISM BEFORE BEING IN SORNIETH? THE TIMES WHEN THE NOVAMANCERS APPEAR ALSO CORRELATE TO THE TIMES WHEN FEATURES OF SPACE SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR. THUS, OUR ADDITIONAL NULL HYPOTHESIS IS THAT THESE NOVAMANCERS COULD BE LIVING PIECES OF SPACE, COMING TO SORNIETH FOR REASONS YET UNKNOWN. THERE IS SO MUCH THAT IS STILL UNEXPLAINED, BUT INVESTIGATIONS WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE FESTIVITIES.

AFTER THE CARNIVALE, ALL RESEARCHERS INVOLVED WITH THE NOVAMANCERS WERE ASSEMBLED TO DISCUSS THEIR THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS. THE RESEARCHERS TENTATIVELY AGREED ON THE HYPOTHESIS THAT THE NOVAMANCERS ARE LIVING PIECES OF SPACE. HOWEVER, WITH THE MAGICAL APPEARANCE OF THE NEW PRIMARY GENE ‘STARMAP,’ MORE DRAGONS HAVE BEEN CLAIMING THEIR LINKS TO THE STARS, PROVING DISTRACTORS TO OUR RESEARCH. IN ADDITION, WHILE COSMIC BEINGS WOULD LOGICALLY ALSO MANIFEST SUCH A GENE AS A PRIMARY, TODAY’S NOVAMANCERS WERE REPORTED TO LOOK AS THEY ALWAYS HAVE. SOME OF THE RESEARCHERS BELIEVE THIS DISCREDITS STARMAP, WHILE OTHERS BELIEVE IT CAN BE EXPLAINED BY HOW NOVAMANCERS ARE FORMED. MORE INSIGHT IS NECESSARY TO ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS.

THOSE LOOKING TO DISCREDIT STARMAP HAVE RESORTED TO INTERVIEWING DRAGONS WITH THE PRIMARY, AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT MANY SIMPLY USED A GENE SCROLL. OTHERS HAVE FORMED A RADICAL GROUP CALLED “BIRTHERS” WHO BELIEVE THAT NOVAMANCERS ARE ACTUALLY BORN BY ACTUAL DRAGONS, THEN DROPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LIGHTNING FARM AS A PRANK.

SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER A LARGE BURST OF LIGHTNING HITS THE SPIRE, IT SLOWLY FADES INTO VISIBILITY, STARTING FROM THE HEAD AND DOWN TO THE TAIL, IN THE MEANTIME SURPRISING THE TECHNICIANS THAT WERE NEARBY. AN ENTIRELY NEW DISCUSSION SPROUTED FROM THIS MOVING PICTURE, AND ONE RESEARCHER SUGGESTED THAT IF THESE NOVAMANCERS ORIGINATED FROM SPACE, THEN THEY WOULD NEED A REFERENCE IN ORDER TO FORM THEIR PHYSICAL BODIES. IN THIS CASE, THE TECHNICIANS WERE THE REFERENCE. MANY RESEARCHERS FOUND THIS IDEA WORTH INVESTIGATING, AND THE ASSEMBLY ENDED ON A LESS DIVISIVE NOTE AS THEY LEFT TO START COLLECTING DATA.

THEIR EVIDENCE WAS POPULATION DATA THAT ONLY 10% OF WORKERS IN THE LIGHTNING FARM POSSESSED THE STARMAP GENE. THE NOVAMANCERS THAT APPEARED TODAY THUS HAD ONLY A SMALL CHANCE OF FORMING NEAR A WORKER WITH STARMAP, WHICH EXPLAINS THEIR CRYSTAL PRIMARIES. MOST ATTENDEES HAD NO OBJECTIONS, SO THE ASSOCIATION HAS DECIDED TO ADOPT THE GROUP’S THESIS AS THEIR CURRENT PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT INFLUENCES A NOVAMANCER’S APPEARANCES. WHAT THE RESEARCHERS COULD NOT PROVIDE A LOGICAL ANSWER TO, THOUGH, IS WHY NOVAMANCERS LOOK LIKE OUTER SPACE. THEY FOUND NO OTHER LIGHTNING FARM WORKER WITH A SIMILAR COLOR SCHEME.

AFTER A PARTICULARLY JOLTING LIGHTNING STORM, THE FIRST NOVAMANCER WITH STARMAP WAS OBSERVED. A MAJORITY OF RESEARCHERS AGREED THAT THE ASSOCIATION’S ACTIONS COULD BE CONSIDERED AN EXPERIMENT AND THUS ALLOWS FOR CLAIMS OF CAUSALITY, BUT THEIR PEERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION, CRITICIZE SUCH A CLASSIFICATION BECAUSE OF A LACK OF A CONTROL GROUP AND OTHER FEATURES OF A GOOD EXPERIMENT.

THEY PRESENTED THE HYPOTHESIS, ALONG WITH SEVERAL RESEARCHERS ON THE BEHAVIORAL OBSERVATION TEAM, THAT NOVAMANCERS DO NOT FIND SUSTENANCE FROM NORMAL FOOD, AND INSTEAD RELY ON MAGIC TO STAY ALIVE. THE ASSOCIATION HAS SCHEDULED AN ASSEMBLY TO DISCUSS THEIR FINDINGS.

A NEW TEAM OF RESEARCHERS HAS BEEN ORGANIZED TO FIGURE OUT HOW EXACTLY NOVAMANCERS’ METABOLISM WOULD WORK, OR MORE BROADLY, HOW THEIR PHYSICAL FORMS FUNCTION. IN THE MEANTIME, ANOTHER TEAM THAT HAS BEEN STUDYING THE NOVAMANCERS’ FORMATION HAVE MANAGED TO SUCCESSFULLY MEASURE THE MAGIC AND MATTER CONCENTRATION NEAR A LIGHTNING SPIRE WHERE A NOVAMANCER APPEARED. THEY RECORDED A SHARP INCREASE IN BOTH MAGIC AND MATTER, THEN A GRADUAL INCREASE IN CONCENTRATION, AND THEN A SHARP DECREASE. THEY ARE EXTENDING THEIR RESEARCH IN ORDER TO PRESENT A CLEARER CONCLUSION.

WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES A SPIRE, THE SPACE MATTER AND MAGIC IS CARRIED BY THE LIGHTNING TO THE GROUND OF SORNIETH, WHICH IS WHY THERE IS A SHARP INCREASE IN MATTER AND MAGIC. THESE SENTIENT FRAGMENTS THEN TAKE ON A DRACONIC FORM BY CONCENTRATING THAT MATTER AND MAGIC INTO (PRESUMABLY) THEIR FLESHLY BODIES. ONCE THAT BODY IS CREATED, THE MAGIC AND MATTER CONCENTRATIONS RETURN TO NORMAL. THESE ARE PARTICULARLY EXCITING RESULTS BECAUSE IT INDICATES THAT THESE BEINGS ARE POWERFUL ENOUGH TO MAGICALLY CREATE THEIR OWN BODIES. THIS REPORT ALSO ANSWERS MANY MAJOR QUESTIONS ABOUT NOVAMANCERS THAT THE ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN TRYING TO ANSWER, SUCH AS THEIR NATURE OF ORIGIN AND PROCESS OF CREATION. IN ADDITION, ASSOCIATION MEMBERS HAVE CONCLUDED THAT SINCE THEY DO ORIGINATE FROM SPACE, THEY LIKELY HAVE COME TO SORNIETH TO EVADE THE SHADE, ANSWERING THE QUESTION OF WHY THEY HAVE COME HERE. MANY MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION HAVE TAKEN UPON CELEBRATING THESE DISCOVERIES, ESPECIALLY THE MEMBER WHO ORIGINALLY STARTED, AND NOW LEADS, THE RESEARCH EFFORT STUDYING THESE CREATURES.

HE ALSO WROTE THAT WHILE HE WAS PROUD OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR BEING ABLE TO CONDUCT MOST OF THAT RESEARCH, HE WOULD LIKE FOR THE ASSOCIATION TO INVITE ALL RESEARCHERS ACROSS SORNIETH TO CONSIDER STUDYING THE NOVAMANCERS. AS A RESULT, THE ASSOCIATION BOARD HAS DECIDED TODAY TO DISCONTINUE THE ASSOCIATION’S COLLECTIVE EFFORT ON THE NOVAMANCER PROJECT, STATING THAT SINCE THE MAJOR MYSTERIES HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED, NOVAMANCERS NEED NO LONGER BE A MAJOR FOCUS. INDIVIDUAL TEAMS ARE STILL WELCOME TO CONTINUE PUBLISHING REPORTS IN THE ASSOCIATION JOURNAL OR TO OTHER SORNIETH JOURNALS. THEY HAVE ALSO WELCOMED RESEARCHERS OUTSIDE THE ASSOCIATION TO CONTINUE THE PROJECT. THIS MEANS THAT THERE WILL NO LONGER BE CONSISTENT ASSOCIATION REPORTS LIKE THIS ONE ABOUT THE NOVAMANCERS; BUT THERE WILL STILL BE INDEPENDENTLY-PUBLISHED REPORTS, AND MANY OF THEM, CONSIDERING THAT THE NOVAMANCERS HAVE GARNERED MUCH INTEREST FROM ACROSS SORNIETH. AFTER ALL, THERE IS STILL MUCH ABOUT THEM TO BE DISCOVERED.
