The Fortunetelling Wizard: And Other Stories From the Kingdom of Dar

In the kingdom of Dar, wizards are known by the tunics they wear.

It is common knowledge that tunics are made from wild magic. A len who catches, tames, and puts on a tunic is a wizard. And a wizard is named and known by his deeds. Take Duin the Fearless or Bjarne the Vengeful as examples.

The wizard Hol has been called Hol the Proud by his mother, Hol the Loyal by the queen, and Hol the Upstart by the other wizards of Dar. His biggest fear is that he’ll be remembered as Hol the Failed.

His tunic has its own opinions about what he should be called.

In fact, his tunic has opinions about everything.

If it has its way, he will be known as Hol the Fortunetelling Wizard.

But there hasn’t been a fortunetelling wizard in Dar in over eight hundred years, and because Hol didn’t actually catch or tame his tunic, he fears even more that he might not even be a wizard at all.
