A treatise on feather magic.
It’s been many moons since I had the dream sent from the Dragon Jormag.
In the dream the dragon tried to put fear in my body. It had almost succeeded. But facing the gaping maw I began to feel a deeper sensation overriding my fear.

A sense of hope against the darkness.

I’d learn a deep lesson on my journey as a Shaman of Owl. Unity and family are what saved the Norn, some sacrificed so that others lived.

Those that lived, had to learn methods of fighting Dragon, until one comes along to slay it forever.

As part of my Journey, My Mentor Ulgadis sent me on a journey of discovery.
I have discovered something which I will share with the Priory.

Feather Magic.

Feather Magic has found a new foothold in Tyria with the rise of the immense magic released by the dragons awakenings. But very few study such things. I am the first.
Thus the danger and prestige is mine.

What is feather magic?
Feathers are used by nature to promote protection and communications. They are representative of the air, and those that thrive in it. However not all feathers are the same.
In the fight against the elder dragons. The caretakers of the skies will be needed to bring about the end of the mighty beasts.

In Tyria there are several birds of power. Some birds are powerful than others It was my task to track them down and learn from them what I could. Let us begin.

Each Practitioner of Feather Magic has a particular avian they are most in tune with.
THAT will be their Totem.
I am a Shaman of Owl. My focus item is the Snowy Owl Feather. That is my focus, and the method I need to channel my spells.

Along with your totem feather you will require a number of Pristine feathers. These will be offered to you by the animal you most relate to, and have chosen as YOUR totem.
Realize however, that the more powerful the spell the more Pristine Feathers you will require. You also cannot harm the animal from which the feathers come from. If the totem agrees or is in tune with your motives, the feathers will come.

For the Norn, Owl represents Wisdom, knowledge, patience, healing.

Spells of this sort are designed to aid those in need, with soothing, and lore. To assist as needed.

The Toucan or the Tropical bird.
This bird is deemed to be VERY beautiful, and very colorful.
The feathers of this totem demand attention. The shout magic of the Druids
Is where it’s power lies. The ability to inspire your allies to greatness.
This is where Pristine feathers shine most brightly.

The Osprey, a Bird of the coast and waters. Found worldwide.
She is known as the Beacon or the bird of journeys and travels.

Her spells revolve around being free, and making long journeys short, particularly around coastal areas. Her spells will also help feed you with a bounty of fish from the sea. She provides and Guides.

The Hawk, the king.
This bird represents the messenger, the guardian, the bird of prey.
The feather of the Hawk represents the strength to carry on, to hunt and protect.
The magic of the Hawk is one of Observance and striking swiftly. When the Hawk is on your side, foes need be weary. For they will NOT see you coming, and in a flurry of feathers, they will be rended flesh from bone.

The Eagle.
Eagle is special For when things are at their bleakest the Eagle will bring you strength to persevere.
To the Norn the Eagle was a defender and aided Owl in escaping the maw of Jormag.
When a feather of the Eagle is given. Take it with pride and honor. For it will refresh your stamina, and health.

The Crow
Is the Scavenger. The Bird that chooses it’s battles, and finds a use for anything left behind. If you find that something seems useless, wave the feather of Crow over it. The results may astound you. Find a use for anything, for it may aid you in times of trouble.
Leave nothing behind, or find a use for it.

The Raven.
The Raven is one of our Strongest animal spirits. He holds a special place in the hearts of many. The feathers of Raven, assist those in the arts of illusion, cunning, darkness, and stealth. Ravens feathers will guide you away from danger, thus allowing you to strike again from a place of safety, then going back into the darkness.
Trust in the Raven feather to keep you safe.

Feather Magic will offer you a way to assist your allies, and befuddle your foes. It is new to Tyria, thus it will change as all magic does in time. Take this small gathering of Mystic Lore, and may it find safe and prudent use in the hands of the Priory, and those who wish to help Tyria’s future.
