Adrien’s thirst for power has been well documented. It is, as far as we can tell, insatiable. But do not think that his obsession extends only within the walls of Arcadia. His desires go further, and these might be more troubling.” “Magitech?“ Yes. Our own determinations are that the tools he imbues with magical power are being created as test pieces. He is looking forward to things greater than magic-powered lamps and automatic doors. Something more global. Adrien desires to spread his philosophy of magic to every corner of Irth, and with it his power and influence.”
Adrien has soiled their minds. He uses a man named Jedidiah—they call him the Prophet—to spread disinformation about the use of magic. It is a most clever deceit, as he does it in your name (Ezekiel's).The Prophet was a plant—part of the narrative about magic and power that Adrien was trying to spread. The student had been brilliant years ago and now seemed to be something of a mastermind.
In areas where Adrien’s influence has spread more rapidly, we are distrusted at best and attacked at worst. No one wants to join us in the Heights. Our number is dwindling, and soon the art could cease to exist.”
“Magical extinction.”
