About
I cannot fail them. I can’t. I mustn’t. I… I…
Once upon a time, Cailaen was a healer, and a damn good one at that. A descendant of a long line of talented Soul Sorcerers, Cailaen had inherited his Grandfather’s grimoire when he came of age. The tome was full of the writings of his ancestors generations past, and browned and tattered by its age, but all the more powerful for its history of use, and he used it well. He had a gentle soul and a firm will, and they would one day doom him.
Cailaen’s home was the Thirteenth, the shard that would become the Void. As the world crumpled, Cailaen fought back, pushing the darkness away with his light. He gave his all to every suffering soul he could find, performing what miracles his family’s combined knowledge could produce—but the encroaching darkness was stronger than any one man could overcome.
Still, he tried. As more bodies fell around him, his desperation grew. He took more and more risks, channeling his spells through his body, through his soul. Surely, if he could save just one more person, it would be worth the risk, Cailaen told himself. If he could keep just one more life from being snuffed out, what happened to him wouldn’t matter. He never saw the ways his magic was twisting. He never realized he had long since abandoned Soul Sorcery. Even as the dead rose around him, Cailaen could only see the shambling, walking corpses as living people, grateful to be saved and eager to fight back against the end of the world. He never realized he’d become a Necromancer.
In the end, rather than helping save his world, Cailaen helped doom it. The corruption in the aether around him had twisted his mind, his soul, his body. He could no longer perceive the truth. Every spell cast warped him more and more—hands becoming claws, teeth becoming fangs—until one day, Cailaen simply wasn’t there anymore. He was a beast, and one day a warrior from another world would dub him Cerberus.

Combat
Soul Sorcerer
Soul Sorcerers are mages who absorb and alter aether within their conduits to dispense healing magic. Similar to Scholars and Summoners on the Source, they most commonly utilize a grimoire or tome of some sort, and more powerful soul sorcerers may summon a familiar to further strengthen their spells.

Grimoire
The most common conduit of a Soul Sorcerer. Cailaen's is old and tattered, but all the more powerful for its age. A pristine focus often indicates a fledgling mage.
On Soul Sorcery
Soul Sorcerers directly manipulate the properties of aether in order to dispense their spells. The vast majority of practitioners use an inanimate object, most commonly a book of some sort, as their focus. A precisely crafted familiar can execute obscenely powerful spells in talented hands, but the creation of such a creature requires years upon years of study and experience, making it quite rare.
The use of an external conduit is vital, and Soul Sorcerers who forgo this basic tenet of the practice can easily—and do often wind up dead. Manipulating aether in this way inside one’s own being is unspeakably dangerous, with potential side effects ranging from the disabling or disfiguring, to the complete unraveling of one’s own being.

Trivia
- "Cailaen" is a Scotch-Gaelic name meaning "young dog." Drormarkh is taken from "Dormarch," a legendary Welsh hound believed to lead souls to hell at the end of the world. The addition of the extra "r" is a nod to the English name of a character from Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
