Wizard's Dice

In the Second Age of the Arcaneum, the Grad Wizard Ethaltix outlawed the practice of magic dueling.

Many a young wizard, easily excitable and prone to offense, would challenge another to a duel, resulting in collateral damage, injury, and often death.

Even with dueling being outlawed and the Magus Apendi arresting and punishing those involved, the practice continued, much to the detriment of the surrounding colleges and communities.

It was Inquisitor Remoroak who came up with the idea to give the impetuous young wizards a less lethal way to manage their disputes.

He developed Wizard's Dice! Initially, as a clandestine means of gambling, he introduced it to the taverns and game houses.

Then, as it's popularity grew, he used under-cover Apendi to sponsor tournaments and betting, to encourage Wizard's Dice to be ubiquitous among the young wizards.

Finally, and almost as if on it's own, you would be hard pressed to find a single wizard without a pouch of Wizard's Dice, ready to cast in place of an otherwise deadly duel.

Now, in the Fifth Age, Wizard's Dice is a common game for wizards and brigands alike, as well as children resolving disputes on the playground.

It is good to remember Inquisitor Remorak, both for the joy he provided, and the lives he saved.

Cast your Wizard's Dice with strategy and courage!
