#WritingPrompts Mairid left home when he was discovered by a mage at 17. That was 300 years ago, but until the story starts, he hadn't been anywhere other than the Complex and his protectorate, which is near the Complex. Mages aren't allowed to visit one another's lands unless they have to
to get to their own protectorate. *humorous aside* this is referred to as the 'right of passage,' and it drives my wp bonkers bc it just cannot let go the conviction that I mean 'rite.'
Haha yeah, wordplay and homonyms are tough on wp sometimes!
Wow 300 years is a long time to be stuck in one place. How big is a protectorate?
It's an entire country, and a pretty spacious one. But yeah the prohibition on travel is something a lot of mages complain about.
Fair enough! But still better than I was thinking. I was worried it was just a single estate or something. Which would probably get claustrophobic pretty quickly!
Yuuuuuuck, as a claustrophobe, I get your concern.
