intro/pinned post bc i should probably explain myself actually

hiiii im salem, he/they, been playing wiz since avalon came out though my interest in the game/ability to speedrun quests varies greatly

this blog will potentially contain spoilers, although i try to tag major late-game story beats or test realm/newest release stuff. current tags i tend to use are “selenopolis spoilers” and “w101 spoilers”

my wizards;

  • Finnigan "Finny" GhostWeaver
  • Necromancer, 168
  • Half-human, half-mantis. Had a brief villain arc around level 100 where he sided with the bugs in Khrysalis but he’s normal now. constantly suppressing the urge to bite people
  • Made fresh in 2020-ish with a couple friends where we all made new wizards together and played thru the main questline 
  • Orion StarBound
  • Conjurer, 170
  • astronomer & artist. sort of a demigod kind of? long story. worked with Qyburn to develop magic that utilized the Constellations by combining Myth & Star spells.
  • my first ever wizard, made way back in like 2012 or thereabouts. transed gender. not actually a "Young Wizard" in terms of his story anymore
  • Aedan ChronoKeeper
  • Thaumaturge, 114
  • polarian, all around certified Good Guy. likes to help whoever he can. (i am doing every side quest with him). can get unfortunately distracted with the Big Picture and be blind to individual feelings. was a dog one time.
  • most complicated story despite only really playing him a lot recently. the wizsein guy.
  • Cecilia "Ceci" MercyCourt
  • Theurgist, 166
  • thank god i’m the only normal person here. valencian, library assistant in the wizard city library (at least until she starts getting roped into world saving business.) 
  • she’s nice :] but Nice is different than Good
  • Willow "Will" DreamWarden
  • Sorcerer, 25
  • was born without magic, but figured out a way to communicate with higher powers through their dreams and was able to make a deal-- free a certain arachnid from his ancient prison, and they'd get all the magic they could want. it kind of backfires but hey thats what happens when you sign into pacts without reading the fine print. at least they have magic now (even if they can't quite remember what they had to do to get it)
  • pretty much an archetypal d&d warlock. (if youre curious, they'd be hexblade subclass)
  • Lance LightShroud
  • Diviner, 35
  • the friendliest guy youll ever meet. literally "bubbly" as in he makes bubbles but hes also so bright and cheerful and is going to make sure EVERYONE knows it All The Time. the sort of guy who types in caps lock because hes just so hype
  • family is from wallaru-- small number of siblings but large number of cousins/extended family. all his machines are Incredibly jury-rigged but somehow still perfectly functional despite all signs pointing to them collapsing if you look at them wrong

all of them have more or less story to them and i am always up to talk about them so feel free to shoot me an ask or dm :] or just to chat i love talking to people

query

how did The Old One get his coat on with those wings????

#not to be insane but i actually came up with an explanation#so. its kind of based on my foundational theory for him#which is that hes not originally from the spiral and is instead an extradimensional being#from earth or an equivalent where eldritch shit is. real#mostly backed by both his gratuitous real-world superhero references#and the use of assets in his lab including things like an earth periodic table (pre-1993) and a book with earth on the back cover#AND the use of english text#the meta explanation is that lemuria as a whole reuses a lot of assets from hero101#for cost saving reasons more than anything else i presume#but theres no reason there cant also be an in-universe explanation too#anyway all this leading up to the idea that his default/True State is made up of stuff from beyond the spiral#and this smaller form of his is a result of him making himself out of Stuff (atoms etc) from the spiral so as not to contradict reality#and destroy it#but very small/temporary returns to form are possible without risking the fabric of the universe#so in order to put on shirts/coats he sort of just makes his wings stop existing in this dimension of reality for a minute#which is so unnecessarily convoluted but i have in fact put a lot of thought into it#oh yeah more of my evidence for this theory is what happens in the cavity#where the rest of the schismists are still hanging out but the old one disappears#when you go in and fight the paradox#which is NOT because dasein already ate him!! dasein very specifically says that he didnt absorb TOO until#AFTER you fight the aberrant paradox#so the contribution to my theory is that i think being in a place that didnt exist was just a little too much for TOO's constructed body#and he kind of fell apart by the time you get down there

HI HI HI. PLEASE TELL ME EVERYTHING ABOUT ARLEN WEAVER. I am eyeing the sort of string-y magic coming off his fingers, I bet that's connected to his name.

Avatar

You would be correct!!!! Arlen casts with his hands it seems. But in actuality he is weaving sigils with string between his fingers! Sometimes they are thin enough to be invisible….

They work well as a binding tool
