Hey folks,

The Arcanists of the Empire travel to the barren wastes to tap into the potent arcane energies that emanate from the inhospitable desert to further their knowledge of the Arcana. Once they master their ability to siphon the arcane they return to the Archives of the Empire to study the spells penned by previous Arcanists.
