When the Day of Mourning occurred, spells that had been cast when the event happened became sentient. These semi-sentient living spells roam the Mournland, infused with a semblance of life, and destroying anything that gets in their way. These spells have attracted the attention of many arcane sages; everyone from the experts at Morgrave University to those individual wizards who wish to put these living spells to their own use.
