The Lore of Magic

## Imperial Laws of Magic

According to the Imperial Decrees of Maximilius, ever since the Sacred Valoryan Empire first became what it became, the Emperor had to instate laws in order to prevent chaos from overcoming the whole of the realm. He stated that although it is important to have wizards, druids and mages, there cannot be too many. Or else, there will be corruption and there will be division. Therefore, the Emperor issued an Imperial Declaration of Magic, stating that only about twenty thousand chosen and gifted pupils can learn magic. The Emperor also made sure that all of those candidates will succeed, instead of failing most of them and only choosing a few. He knows that the youth are eager to learn. Even members of the High Imperial Council, nobles and all, agree that too many magic users will destabilize the entirety of the Empire. I got this from the Witcher Season 2 when the mages decided to rebel against the Emperor of Nilfgaard and ofc before that, when the princess in Blood Origins usurped the throne as Empress and then the Sage and mages all bullied her into submission etc etc etc. Yeah, too many magic users is a bad idea. Anyways, the Emperor decided to have twenty thousand young pupils at the age of sixteen or so to learn the arcane arts. Each one is only allowed to learn one type. Those who are very patient and show wisdom as well as initiative are taken under the wing of the Wise Master Battle-Wizard, Merlin or as they get to call him, Emrys. Before you ask if I am only allowing boys to do magic, NO! I am allowing girls too. It's like Hogwarts, in fact this is highly inspired from J.K Rowling's Harry Potter series. The only difference is, the World of Aldenhammer is very very Warhammer Fantasy inspired, which means it is high fantasy and dark fantasy. Wizards, druids and mages do need to use their magic sometimes. Even the youth. As it is important to show that youth is precious, they will survive but not without struggles. It is highly important that I tell you, as the author of all of this fantasy lore I've engineered, I can hear Merlin's voice in my head telling me what to do.

## The Lore of Greifonmancy

## The Lore of Celestial Sagism (High Elven Magic reserved only for the High Elven Celestial Battle-Sage of Sylenora; Talv'Melis)

The ability to summon the highest of celestial Valanar, who come down to help out. The High Elves are considered Celestial beings who have been sent down to help the mortal creations of Arthandiel, the God of the Aldenhammer Universe, based on the real God of Israel who is real and exists and watches your every move xD. The Celestial High Elves of Celestor are considered to be at the level of Principalities in the Angelic Hierarchy of Heaven. That is why they have an established realm of High Elven Princes of Celestor. Talv'Melis is considered a wise Celestial Battle-Sage. Granted permission by the Celestial Father, Arthandiel, he is given the ability to summon Archangelic Valanar warriors to his aid in times of need and to also help his mortal human friends. Later, granted permission from the Celestial Father and through the Seraphim Valanar, the Highest of all angelic beings, the Celestial High Elves of Celestor get to choose a new High Elven King to lead their forces into battle alongside the humans, wizard-kin, dwarves, feylians, fauns and giants.

## The Lore of Greater Celestialism and Celestiomancy, reserved only for the High Elven Celestial Loremaster of Sylenora, Talav'Melis.

He has the ability to open portals since he has secret knowledge that allows him to converse with the angelic beings. He also has the greatest knowledge of history of everything from the beginning of creation until the present and even hints of the future. He is in good relations with the Prophet of the Messiah's Church. Since Talav'Melis is also one of the principality Valanar chosen beings to help on the planet of Sol Eldium, he is granted authority by the Celestial Father through the Higher Valanar authorities of Heaven aka the Seraphim who pass down orders to the Loremaster and instruct him how to help the mortal humans, dwarves etc.

## The Knowledge of Greater Celestial Seership, reserved only for Aurora, the High Elven Celestial Battle-Seer Princess of Sylenora

She has the ability to see through to the past, present and future. She is very good at tracking down evil doers and that is why she is one of the key heroic figures of all the heroic ages. She was one of the Faithful Fourteen after all.

Talav'Melis and Talv'Melis are related by blood. They are two High Elven brothers, gifted with seership and wisdom of the Heavens to help their people and their allies in dark times. The two of them are the most important characters of the High Elven Principalities, which eventually does become the High Elven Kingdom of Celestor aka the Holy Celestoryan Kingdom.

## The Necrodex of Forbidden Knowledge aka the Book of Great Abominations & How to destroy it

Leothar and all his friends embark on a quest eventually to seek out the ingredients and artifacts to ultimately destroy Lucidion's book to enslave all of the Celestial Father's creations.

1. This Purification Potion requires several ingredients; One Sapphire Gemstone, one Ruby Gemstone and one purified white diamond.

2. The Holy Grail. The Lady of Avalon has to give this to the protagonist heroes and heroines.

3. A Dwarven Rune. Only a dwarven master smith can gift it and he has to reveal some secrets unknown to the non-dwarven kind. It is meant to trap the book in place but it's not enough.

4. Excalibur of which only Arthur Pendragon, High King of Britonnia can use. Classical task; he pulls it from the stone and rises as the High King of Britonnia. Excalibur's strike from Arthur is meant to neutralize the book's aurora of evil.

5. Another enchanted sword which is missing and Guinevere discovers that she must've been an ancient heroine of old, setting out on a dangerous quest to find it. However, Arthur and the Knights of Camelot step in to assist her. Funnily enough, the Emperor and his companions all step in too because why not? She is meant to hold the sword while it sings a song to drown out the illusions the book causes. Since, you know, combined together with the sword, Guinevere makes the sword feel very....beautiful and appreciated.

6. The Emperor's personal flaming Äldenhammer, Ärchlen's Truth and the flaming Äldensword, Ärchlen's Justice which is wielded only by Emperor Leothar von Greifonberg himself. He must strike at the book twice to weaken the book further. But the temptations still continue to affect all of them around.

7. The Empress's sword which is named after she and all companions involved finds it, she discovers she was the heroine, Silvelina, the Battle-Princess of the ancient heroic ages. She names it to Gryphon's Claw.

8. A Gryphon's Tooth. This is why Godric von Greifonhof needs to be present to enchant it as well as calming the gryphon, talking to him, putting him to sleep and than softly takes out his tooth, than restoring it with magic. The purpose of the Gryphon's Tooth is to drain out all the greater evil spells that can counter what the lock of hair from the Pegasus can do if not used. The Gryphon's Tooth will destroy the greater evil spells, curses and incantations.

9. An ancient Trident of the ancient peoples of Atlan. It is meant to pin the book in place. You could say....for once....evil is being crucified and impaled upside down. Yes. The book is somewhat alive.

10. A Seer Stone that belongs to Aurora, the High Elven Battle-Seer Princess, who is needed to not help contain the black book of unholiness and instead is required to see through the deception of the evil temptations. Her perception will help the heroes and heroines dodge the temptations at hand.

11. A lock of hair from a Pegasus. This put in between the pages will slowly disintegrate all the lesser forbidden spells, cursed incantations and demonic symbols.

12. A Faun's Horn. It sends a message to evil, saying, "Oi, we ain't surrendering to you!" Only the Faun Druid can take foreigners into the forest to search for this in the Feylands. The horn is meant to drown out all the dark enchanting noises from the book which helps the wizards, sage and Loremaster to contain it more.

13. The ancient golden dragon from Albion to also incinerate the black book in flames. The dragon is familiar to Merlin xD. The ember from this particular dragon will engulf the book, causing it to screech.

14. An ancient golden dragon from Cathaya in order to incinerate the black book in flame. Finally, the ancient golden dragon of Cathay destroys the book, burning it into ashes. But if the ashes are not contained.....it will reform itself.....Only the Messiah upon His Second Coming can completely demolish it with His Divine Celestial Glory.

15. Merlin, the Celestial High Elven brothers of Celestor; Talv'Melis the Sage and Talav'Melis the Loremaster. one Faun druid and the three main wizards of the Sacred Valoryan Empire must work together to contain the dark powers of the book that will cause temptation. (Much like the One Ring from Lord of the Rings or the Horcruxes from Harry Potter or Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone (Which is based on the Philosopher's Stone myth) or the Philosopher's Stone from Justice League animated series of the DC Universe that tempted Martian Manhunter to believe that his family could come back to him, just as it tempted Harry about his parents too because Voldemort did so to trick him.)

If my novel series was ever made into a live action tv show, I do require Hans Zimmer and a team of other decent soundtrack writers, maybe the Two Steps from Hell composers etc, to work together to write a soundtrack piece that sounds alot like Batman's Main Theme from 1989 except the variation changes from the minor notes involved into a major tune along with some epic variations to make it ultimately unique. I do need a good choir team from the best church community that isn't roman catholic. Tabernacle Choir, I am requesting for volunteers.
