It is said that when the cosmos first sparked into existence, Drazmik was born from
the very moment reality became aware of itself. He immediately began cataloguing and
understanding every law, force, and possibility within creation, building the Arcanum Nexus
as an infinite repository where all knowledge could be preserved and studied for eternity.
During the Chaos of Wild Magic, when uncontrolled magical forces threatened to tear
apart reality itself, Drazmik descended to teach mortals the fundamental principles
of magical theory. The Academy Arcanum that he established became the foundation
for all organized magical study and still bears his divine blessing.
Ancient texts speak of a time when Drazmik will discover the Ultimate Truth that
explains all existence, completing his cosmic research. Some believe this refers
to the end of mystery itself, while others think it speaks of transcendence to
a higher form of reality where all beings achieve perfect understanding.
With the recent discoveries of new magical phenomena in the northern territories and
the establishment of advanced magical academies - strange crystalline formations that
enhance spellcasting, ancient ruins containing unknown forms of magic, and reports of
spontaneous magical awakenings among common folk - many faithful believe Drazmik is
preparing to reveal new layers of magical understanding. Prayers for his guidance have
increased, and several archmages claim to have received visions of revolutionary
magical theories yet to be discovered.
