| There are places of power. Places of destiny. |
| Holy places where ley lines cross and the surrounding countryside surges with magikal energy. |
| Some say that the forces of fate are drawn to these places. That each is a nexus. A point where the ides of history will be turned. Where the world will be changed forever. |
| A nexus is both a blessing and a curse. |
| They are a powerful resource to whomever claims them, he who possess a nexus, it is said, holds the power to shape the world. |
| But they are so hotly contested among mages and kings that merely defending a nexus can be the dismantling of an entire nation. |
| Ley lines are eternal but they are not unchanging. Indeed, it is their very nature to be in a constant state of flux, to be ever-changing. |
| This is life. This is magik. Not the mere parlor tricks of circle-sorcery. |
| Magik is the incarnation of will and its expression upon the face of reality. Not a saw scrawl upon some ancient parchment. |
| As such, one can never predict when a nexus may fade away ot where a new one may be born. |
| But what would happen if a nexus was not born as a place... |
| ...but as a man? |
