What lay ahead for a magus without royal lineage? While magi from noble families usually returned to their roots, what about individuals like Vale without noble connections?
Vale had several possible paths. First, he could choose to align himself with a noble family and pledge allegiance to them, a common choice for those seeking security and resources. Alternatively, he could embark on an independent journey and forgo allegiance, allowing him greater freedom but also exposing him to greater risk. Finally, he may choose to join an organization or group composed of other magi with similar backgrounds, providing a sense of belonging and shared goals.
