The years after King Claudius began his reign were good ones for Wistover.
Something in the world seemed to have shifted with the change in generations, and it couldn't all be attributed to the fact that nearly every Barony now had at least one family of Trolls living in it.

But the real change was something more than that, something that said the magic of the world was more stable now than it had been in the past. Mages were growing faster and more powerful, and while Princess Katerina might still hold the title as the most powerful graduate that the Wistover Magic Academy had ever seen, she was no longer the only one to graduate as a Master Mage.
