“*They were once Ofir's greatest warriors.*”

Scorpion School Medallion

The **School of the Scorpion** was a witcher school founded by several members of the School of the Viper when they traveled to Ofir in the year 1200.

## Origins

The School of the Scorpion, arose after the trip that several witchers of the School of the Viper, made to Ofir.

Where, their services were required, due to the excessive increase in the monster population, which the ofieris warriors could not cope with.

This is how the various governors of the region agreed and offered the vipers the facilities and resources to found a school and thus put an end to this problem that affected everyone and so, the School of the Scorpion was born.

## History

### Ofieri Mages - Scorpion School conflict

The conflict between the mages and the witchers of the School of the Scorpion, was gestating, practically from the beginning, since these, began to feel jealous of the witchers,since these, with the passage of time, began to acquire more and more importance so much so that its importance began to rival that of the sorcerers which led to a point of tension, which erupted in the year 1242. Where the sorcerers began a propaganda war to discredit and destroy them, so that they would not take away the importance they had in the different societies of the region.

In 1244, the propaganda would be effective and the sorcerers would attack the Scorpion fortress in order to destroy them. Achieving it finally.

### Extinction

Its extinction was due mainly after the attack that its fortress in the desert, provoked by the sorcerers. Some survived, but not many. Because, unlike the School of the Griffin, the fortress of the scorpions was completely destroyed and only those who were not present in the fortress survived.

And the few who survived, were hunted by the sorcerers and Immortals, until thus, the School of the Scorpion, disappeared.

### Legacy

The School of the Scorpion, left many influences on Ofir. Above all, in legends and stories. At the beginning of their disappearance, the hatred towards them survived, but with the passage of time, that hatred became love and idealization after their disappearance had a notable repercussion in the territory.

Many of Ofir's rulers ended up acquiring objects from the School of the Scorpion.

## Characteristics

#### Signs

They used the same type of signs as the other witchers on the Continent with the exception, they was specialized in the use of Hate - reflecting Sign, called Ukrih by them.

#### Potions

They used unique potions, created from the unique plants and creatures of that region. In addition to variants of the common potions in the other witchers schools. It should also be noted that the potions were part of what they stood out, due to their specialty in alchemy.

#### Combat Style

Their combat style was a mixture between the style of the School of the Viper and the combat style of the ofieris warriors.

#### Morals

Like other schools, like the School of the Cat or the School of the Tiger. The Scorpion School did not have a moral either and they only cared about doing their job and not about the collateral damage it could cause. Though with the passage of time, its extinction and idealization, that would be forgotten by Ofir's people.
