World Guide
The System sorts all power into four Quadrants. Each one opens a new path, and none of them come free.

Mana, spellcraft, and the mind. Power drawn from what cannot be seen.

Body, blade, and grit. Strength earned one fight at a time.

Craft, trade, and influence. The skills that build a life worth defending.

Invention and understanding. Sam's first domain, and the one he trusts most.
