Under the tutelage of a wise magician and a battle-tested knight, along with the friendship of a courageous halfling, Johan is going to learn what it means to be a true hero in the Order of Ysavar.

Profile Picture

After failing his Guardian training, Johan feels as if he has lost everything he'd ever hoped and dreamed for.

That is, until a brownie halfling named Felix appears at his door under orders of Pius to take him and train him. When Johan comes, he meets Pius, the wizard and Arlo, a human like Johan.

Pius tells him that he is Chosen and that he would be tasked to retrieve Blazer, a sword that holds unspeakable power, from the hands of dangerous goblins.

The Magicians of Ysavar is a story about a boy by the name of Johan. His goal is to become a Guardian of his city, a police officer of sorts. However, he fails the test to get in. Then, not far from the night he got rejected, a mysterious, short man arrives, telling him that he has been chosen to be recruited into the Order of Ysavar, a group of magicians that fight evil. He realizes that the world is on the brink of destruction, and goblins are ready to destroy humanity. If he succeeds and defeats the goblins, he will save millions, just as he always has dreamed about.
