Many of those who spend their lives in the study of this elusive force have banded together in their common goal to assume the responsibility of ensuring that the balance of power and magical energy in the world will not shift in one direction or the other. These are the Stewards of Destiny and it is their unceasing task to monitor the flow of magic in Thranok and prevent its control by those who would plunge the world into chaos. They are led by the most venerable of all the Master Summoners, Karras the Wise. Karras is a man of great knowledge and tireless curiosity who has become a recluse in the great Tower of Stewards, where his research into the secrets of the magical and natural world continue night and day. Karras has unlocked the secrets of the earth spirits and it is he alone who can commune with the mystical beings that hold the world in a state of mystic balance. He appears as a wizened old man of advanced age with flowing white hair and a long white beard. He is normally dressed in long, fine robes of multi-colored fabrics and bears as his focus a great oaken staff with a magnificent blood red crystal set atop it. Karras has long known of the island and its importance in sustaining the balance but has thought it safe from discovery as all knowledge of its existence was thought lost to antiquity. Now aware that other Master Summoners have learned of the location of the Shezarian Stones, Karras has traveled with his allies to the island using a Spell of Translocation and now prepares to defend the island from the others as they approach.   Delver Mage Summoning Cost: 1 Dragon's Tooth, 0 Bloodstones, 1 Fairy Dust A member of the Inner Circle of Karras who wields the forces that hold the very fabric of reality together, bending and shaping them to his will with his magical skill and knowledge.
