Documented Notes

The FireHearts

History

For several millenniums the node slept deep beneath within the bowels of the earth undisturbed. Unmastered the wyld node sent its ley lines out freely for it has never bent to the will of another until one day it was awoken by a presence. It felt the magick within another, but it wasn’t a ley line from another node. Curiously the node reached out for the presence unaware that the presence was also reaching out for it. Suddenly the node’s probe was shut off quickly, not understanding it tried to reach out again but soon found itself cut of, it’s ley lines severed, it’s consciousness interrupted as a seal to contain it was slammed magickally upon it. The node retaliated, the earth rumbled and arched, casting great mountain ranges into the sky, the land spilt open causing a deep valley to form before the node was completely contained, once again the node was forced to slumber until the day someone would come and remove the prison it had been cast into.

It was eight centuries ago that I finally felt the presence of others. They were unaware of my presence on the land and for years I watched as Strahd Fireheart slowly built his small family. It wasn’t until the one that felt me that I began to hold some hope of being set free from my prison. Thanatos came to the small clan through the marriage of one of Strahd’s daughters. Together with his father in law the two concentrated on the building of the clan. One day as Thanatos was in the lower levels of the small castle like structure he came across something etched into the soft soil. Curiously he knelt down beside it and ran his hand over the etching not realizing what it was at first. With excitement Thanatos leapt up from the seal that had entomb me for centuries. Running to his room Thanatos threw his nose into his books trying to locate the origin of the seal. It took him days but he finally found the seal that kept me at bay. For several days Thanatos spent day and night with me trying incantation after another when suddenly I felt a surge of power, the seal was weakening and in anticipation I reached out for the one that had freed me. My tendrils reached forth and grabbed the young mage and encased him in a cocoon of pure tass taking the mage completely by surprise. My energy surrounded Thanatos in a pure blue light as I linked myself to his mind and showed him the wonders he could grasp in my care. Three days later I released the young mage forever altered with the physical and mental altered. When Thanatos rose his eyes became the same as my energy and his hair as white as my innocence. Together we accomplished great feats, conquered armies and built a clan that was almost impossible. But Thanatos wanted more and began to divulge himself into the dark arts, he began to perform vulgar magick and corrupt me.

A vampress by the name of Elizabeth had her eyes set on Thanatos, one unfortunate night Thanatos became forever lost to me, the moment of his embrace his link to me was shattered sending me into a rage that I raved havoc on the occupants of my land, a mage by the name of Palas once again imprisoned me. So there I sat asleep for centuries until the magick came alive again in the Fireheart blood. Thanatos still ruled over the clan but was feeling the pull of the earth and a end to his misery and searched for a suitable replacement, he found that in a young mage by the name of Morgan Fireheart. Thanatos watched from afar as Morgan grew in the arts of magick and in leadership and on the boy’s 21st birthday Thanatos made his final appearance and passed down the torch of leadership. Thanatos slipped away and was never heard from again. With Morgan at the helm I waited in anticipation that he would feel me and release me once again. I waited two more years before that happened, Morgan found my location after reading a journal and went in search of my location. He broke the seal and I took him quickly before he even knew what had happened. For five days I kept Morgan close to me. As with Thanatos I opened the boy’s mind to the wonders and creations that were awaiting him. Morgan’s mind proved to be a strong willed one but everyone succumbs to my seduction sooner or later. I finally released him from my hold leaving him altered as I did his predecessor; his thirst for power laid elsewhere then that of Thanatos where Thanatos looked to gain powers of the dark arts. Morgan seeks it through the reestablishing of the clan. As each day passes I can feel the newly awaken node mages touch my existence and I welcome them greedily.

Recently something has happened, Morgan has left the confines of my protection and I feel myself losing my mages one by one. Now I have felt the severing ties of my chosen and feel the pull of sleep once again hoping that one day my chosen return to me.

Years have passed since I felt the presence of any Firehearts.  With their return to Scotland I have tried to wrap my tendrils around them but have been unsuccessful, even with the new births of Fireheart Mages I have no longer any control on their fates.  The land stands barren with the fall of the clan leader and as the embraced one steps up into power, he is lost to me as well, and one by one I feel them leaving me once more for the other node that lays slumbering on the mystical island that has claimed the fiery hearts

How they act

The Firehearts are a noble Scottish clan; they give respect to those that have proven themselves worthy of it. They demand 100 percent loyalty from their family members and affiliations. Blood is everything to them. Once an individual is accepted or married into the clan they are considered blood and fall underneath the protection of the clan. Like all mages their blood is tainted with the taste of the old and can not be blood bond, and if fed from not only does it cause Illness but can cause death in great amounts. They are passionate in everything they do and believe in, once a Fireheart has given their word, it is set in stone as far as they are concerned. All of the Firehearts have one common flaw, the Scottish temperament, like I said before, they are a passionate breed of folk and it comes out when the temper rises.
