Editing Legends - Progression (section)

==Advancing in Mastery==

As previously mentioned, in the Realm mortal heroes can advance in power and mastery through completing Legendary Deeds.

It is assumed that all your characters were at stage ''1st Circle'' characters, then progressed to ''2nd Circle'' characters through training and innate ability. The transition from ''2nd Circle'' to ''3rd Circle'' is the transition from ''Mortal'' to ''Legend'', and lies within the player characters’ histories. 

For example, a character whose ''Legendary'' trait is the skill ''Poetry'' may have composed a perfect haiku that was instantly immortalised by its quality and now is inscribed on the steps in front of  the ''Dragonthrone'', while a character whose ''Legendary'' trait is ''Strength'' may have held up massive timbers in a burning building long enough for the children trapped within to escape. 

A ''legendary deed'' need not be a heroic one – an act of great villainy will suffice just as well, though this will effect your reputation from that point on: expect to be feared rather than adored. Regardless a legendary deed should be epic – something an ordinary man should not have been able to accomplish.
