User:Daenen/House Cyric

House Cyric are an ancient family of darker spell casters. They make their home in Kul'Tiras, with the family manor outside of Crestfall. Recently, an uproar has many members of the family hiding, and many others seeking revenge.

History
When the first humans trained to use spells by the high elves, troll's shadow hunters and witch doctors continued to slay the human spell casters, calling upon the powers of their gods to defend themselves and slay their rivals. Their solutions were the creation of the spell casters who would later become the first of the Cyric House.

Some humans were trained in the ways of faith, to use the Light. The Cyrics were the opposite. They were trained in dark magic to strip their enemies of the powers of their souls and souls they utilized. The Cyrics learned to drain not someone's life force or mana, but their souls, stealing the strength and devotion of their spirits, using it to fortify their own goals. Against the Cyrics, the witch doctor's gods abandoned them in mid-combat, their most zealous defenders dropped their weapons and ran, no longer believing their goals were worth having. The Cyrics decimated their forces using the divine powers stolen from the gods.

The Cyrics developed the skill, but when their foes began using arcane powers, powers not obtained through faith and devotion, but through natural or refined talent, the Cyric's needed to find ways to defend themselves.
