#wayfarer

Smoke and flame swirl around you. Conjured fire is spontaneous, dangerous magic. When set loose by its caster, it is quick to spread and difficult to control. Already a wall of fire flares across the exit. Escape is impossible… For anyone who isn’t a Wayfarer. ➛ 1. You can’t run. Not when innocent people are dying. You have to help. ➛ 2. You don’t owe this city anything. Don’t risk your life when you’re so close to making it out.
