Classes of the Realm · Grand Scholarium
Warlock
Warlocks are defined by relationship. Something answered. Something offered power. Something made contact. The patron may be an old power, forbidden artifact, moon-touched intelligence, remnant of another age, dangerous Aether manifestation, or stranger thing entirely.
Adventure Guide note
Bargain, debt, contact, inheritance, infection, awakening, or forbidden pact.
How Aeloria understands this class
Auralis treats warlocks with suspicion because the source of their power is often private, ambiguous, or illegal to document. Some are pact scholars. Some are victims. Some are opportunists. Some are the first warning that something old has begun speaking again.
Practice and power
Warlock magic centers on bargain, debt, awakening, inheritance, infection, contract, contact, or devotion. The exact form depends on the patron and the terms of the relationship.
At the Grand Scholarium
At the Grand Scholarium, warlocks may hide their patron, study it obsessively, seek legal protection, or attract dangerous attention from Arcane Law, History, and Ethical Containment.
