Commencement — Cleave Bourbon

Every one hundred years, an individual with remarkable abilities is born in each one of the six kingdoms. The gods create them to be champions. The red mage uses blood magic, the blue mage is all elemental, the green mage has command over nature and can shapeshift, the black mage has dominion over death, the grey mage is the master of the mind and illusions, and the white mage can cast spells through song, dance, and voice. It is the job of the Tourney Master, a wizard who awakens five years before every century, to find and prepare them for the great Tournament of Mages, a contest pitting them all against great obstacles and ultimately each other to decide who will rule all of the six kingdoms for the next one hundred years. Only, the mages are born at random, have free will from the gods, and are not always so easy to convince to fight for the fate of the six kingdoms.
