Sid

Sidarand Travis was a Master Engineer of Archadia. He was one of the bigger names in magitech design, and one of the creators of the original magitech suits. Sidarand Travis was said to be one of the people to revolutionize the Archadean Empire, hoping to use the suits for peaceful heavy labor. Shortly after, he was brought into the team of engineers working for the Archadaen Army, where they produced a more streamlined Magitech Suit, capable of replacing several soldiers with one powered by magic to make them faster, stronger, and more durable.

Now, Sidarand is a traitor. On the eve of finishing his new compact magitech engine, one promising to make the suits easier to produce and able to hold more spells at once, he destroyed it and fled Archadia. The Archadean Empire branded him a traitor of the people, claiming he is holding the nation's secrets to a mighty army from them. His colleagues struggle to find his notes. And the empire holds his wife, Rosilyn, and daughter, Charity, as prisoners of the state.

Only no one but Sid understands what he had done. In one final commitment of magic, he sacrificed all of his skill and knowledge, destroying any chance of remaking the magitech engine.

But now he is a refugee in Emberstrand, a fugitive, and worst of all, lacks all of the knowledge and skill that once made him a master engineer. Only the belief he can still make new more powerful magitech engines makes him a valuable target to Archadia. He must rescue his wife and daughter before his work is completed without him or the Empire finds out about his lack.
